Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson has been granted permission to seek a trade before the deadline. Johnson recently requested a trade after failing to reach a new deal with the Bears. The San Francisco 49ers are among the teams reportedly interested in Johnson, who will become a free agent after this season. If a trade cannot be made, the Bears may use their franchise tag on him next year. Johnson has 18 tackles, two interceptions, and a forced fumble in six games this season.
