The Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with free-agent cornerback Jaylon Jones on a one-year contract to remain with the franchise, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
The deal was confirmed by Jones' agent, Damien Butler. Jones has spent the first two seasons of his NFL career in Chicago after joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss in 2022. Since then, he has established himself as a reliable depth piece in the secondary and a core contributor on special teams units.
Over the course of 33 games with the Bears, Jaylon Jones has tallied 51 total tackles and two passes defended. His return provides continuity for the defense as the team continues to shape its roster for the upcoming season. Jones saw significant action during his rookie campaign, starting nine games, and has remained a fixture on the active roster due to his versatility and special teams value.
This move ensures that Chicago maintains veteran depth behind their primary starting cornerbacks, including Pro Bowler Jaylon Johnson. Financial terms of the one-year agreement have not yet been disclosed by the team.
