BREAKING: Ben Johnson Donates Full One-Year Contract Extension and $250K Sweet 16 Bonus to Charity and Homeless Causes, Solidifying His Role as a Leader and Humanitarian in Chicago Football

He joined Detroit’s staff in 2019 following a seven-year run as an assistant in Miami. During his time overseeing the offence, Goff has thrown for more than 4400 yards each of the past three seasons. He made two of his four career Pro Bowls in that stretch.

The Lions earned the top seed in the NFC at 15-2 before getting stunned by Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders in a divisional playoff game.

Johnson had already left a few days later. “Ben’s temperament, intelligence, leadership, and ability to interact really impressed me during our recruitment process,” Bears general manager Ryan Poles stated.

“With a forward-thinking offensive mindset, Ben’s strategy for our team’s three phases—which is focused on fostering a competitive and winning atmosphere—became distinctly apparent.

“The more we spoke with Ben and learned about his approach and goals, the more certain we were that he is the best team leader and that we will work well together to develop our group and mold our business for sustained success.”
