INDIANAPOLIS — Cornerback has been a pesky issue for the Bears lately, and every time they think they’ve sunk enough resources into that position to solidify it, something has come undone.
The big question they face this offseason is whether they can trust fourth-year corner Tyrique Stevenson as a long-term starter. The fact that he hasn’t put that concern to rest by now is the reason he’s unlikely to get a contract extension going into the final season of his rookie deal.
The Bears are set with top corner Jaylon Johnson signed through 2027 and nickel corner Kyler Gordon beginning an extension that runs through ’28, but the other outside spot is hazy.
