Bears Re-Sign CB Jaylon Jones to One-Year Deal

The move keeps a core special-teams contributor in a room reshaped by free agency exits.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported Chicago’s one-year agreement with the reserve cornerback.
  • Jones entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and has appeared in 56 games with six starts, earning most of his snaps on special teams.
  • Before the 2025 season he signed with the Cardinals, was waived at final cuts, and was claimed back by the Bears.
  • He played 15 games last season with one start, recording 16 tackles (12 on special teams) and a forced fumble.
  • The retention follows free-agent exits by Kevin Byard, Jaquan Brisker, Nahshon Wright, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Jonathan Owens, with Elijah Hicks the other defensive back who remained in Chicago.
