Bears Re-Signing CB Jaylon Jones The Chicago Bears are re-signing cornerback Jaylon Jones to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move comes after Jones spent the 2025 season with the team, appearing in 15 games and contributing with 16 tackles and a forced fumble. Jones, 28, was initially undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft after playing college football at Mississippi. He joined the Bears as an undrafted free agent and signed a three-year rookie contract with the team. Following his rookie season, Jones was released by the Bears in 2023 but returned to the organization in 2024. During that time, he signed a one-year, $1.2 million deal with the Arizona Cardinals in free agency. However, he was waived by Arizona during the preseason and subsequently claimed off waivers by the Bears. The Bears’ decision to re-sign Jones appears to be a strategic move to retain his experience and contributions on the defensive backfield. His performance in 2025, despite limited playing time, suggests he remains a valuable asset for the team as they prepare for the 2026 season. Other notable signings in the NFL include the Washington Commanders re-signing guard Chris Paul, the Cleveland Browns adding defensive lineman Kalia Davis on a one-year deal, and the New York Jets retaining safety Andre Cisco. The Pittsburgh Steelers have also signed defensive lineman Sebastian Joseph-Day, while the Detroit Lions have added cornerback Roger McCreary. The Miami Dolphins are reportedly bringing back edge rusher David Ojabo. These signings reflect teams’ efforts to solidify their rosters ahead of the 2026 NFL season, with many focusing on adding depth and experience to their defensive units.#chicago_bears #nfl #adam_schefter #jaylon_jones #2026_nfl_season
