Chicago Bears: Former Lions player doesn’t want to reunite with Ben Johnson
Ben Johnson was a pull for wide receiver Kalif Raymond this offseason, but not all of the former offensive coordinator’s players want to reunite with the Chicago Bears head coach.

Raymond told Dan Pompei of The Athletic that he chose to join the Bears to play for Johnson instead of re-signing with the Lions and Dan Campbell.
“I wanted to play in Ben’s offense,” Raymond told Pompei. “He’s extraordinarily creative, and honestly, you can be in any spot on the offense, and he will find a way to get you the ball. Just to be under him is a great privilege.”
The Lions lost left tackle Taylor Decker this offseason when he asked for a release. Detroit was going to make the veteran take a pay cut.
With the Bears needing a left tackle after Ozzy Trapilo suffered a torn patellar tendon against the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round, Decker appeared to be a target for Johnson.
However, it doesn’t appear Decker is keen on joining the Bears this offseason.

Justin Rogers interviewed Decker on the Lions Collective podcast. Per Rogers, even though he didn’t like the way things ended in Detroit, he wants to be remembered as a Lion. Because of his loyalty to the Lions, he doesn’t want to sign with the Packers or Bears.
“I will tell you that he’s pretty anti-playing for the Bears or Packers,” Rogers said of Decker, via a transcription by Pro Football Talk. “That’s the Lions background in him. I know Ben Johnson did it and that was the right situation for him, but Taylor feels kind of dirty about the idea.
“It just isn’t interesting to him. I could see him joining a team mid-season, the further he gets away from football and games being played, injuries happening, and the right offer occurs. I could also see him not playing.”
Decker called Johnson a “sicko” for his use of trick plays during his time with the Lions. While he appreciated Johnson in Detroit, their relationship doesn’t seem strong enough for the Bears to land someone who would be a big help at left tackle this fall.
