The Chicago Bears already feature Jaylon Johnson, one of the NFL’s standout cornerbacks, making their defense formidable. But imagine coupling him with another top-tier CB?

Enter the intriguing trade scenario that could potentially see Jalen Ramsey don the Bears’ jersey. In this proposed three-team trade, Cooked up by analysts, the Bears would acquire Ramsey from the Miami Dolphins, moving offensive tackle Braxton Jones to the Cleveland Browns.

Now, Chicago may not have that West Coast allure, but adding Ramsey’s elite coverage could bolster a defense already strengthened with Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo’s recent signings. Last year, the Bears finished 16th in pass defense—solid, but not spectacular.

Pairing Johnson with Ramsey? That could transform this unit into a feared pass defense.

There’s been chatter from ESPN’s Adam Schefter about Ramsey’s West Coast preference, but teaming up with Johnson to form one of the NFL’s most formidable cornerback duos has its own appeal. Besides, with Tyrique Stevenson not quite living up to his breakout potential, Ramsey’s presence could be just what the Bears need to shore up their secondary.

Even if Ramsey might not consistently recreate the dominant form from his Jacksonville days, he remains a significant defensive asset who could adapt to a safety role as his career progresses. His contract that runs through 2028 provides the Bears with long-term security in their secondary, potentially taking their pass defense to new heights.

All in all, Chicago has been making strategic moves this offseason, and the acquisition of Ramsey could well be the crowning jewel in their roster-building endeavors. With this kind of firepower in their defensive lineup, the Bears would not just be making a statement—they’d be setting the standard.
