C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Chicago Bears

The Buffalo Bills added depth to their defense on Thursday, signing former Chicago Bears cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a one-year deal. According to NFL.com Insider Tom Pelissero, Gardner-Johnson and his agents, Kevin Conner and Robert Brown, signed a $6 million contract.

Gardner-Johnson will join the seventh-best defense in 2025 (293.1 yards) and add some veteran leadership in a young cornerback room. The veteran corner will fill the void that veteran cornerback Tre’Davious White leaves behind, as he’s a free agent.

The Bills have a handful of cornerbacks on their roster, with Christian Benford (two interceptions and four pass defenses) and Maxwell Hairston (two interceptions and five pass defenses) as the main options. Cornerbacks Jordan Hancock and Dorian Strong are also on the roster to add depth.

Gardner-Johnson won’t just help the Bills on defense, but being a former Super Bowl champion could help inspire the locker room. The Bills failed to reach the big game last season after losing to the Denver Broncos in overtime in the AFC Divisional Round (33-30).

The Bills had their best chance to win the Super Bowl in 2025, with the Kansas City Chiefs taking a step back after dominating for over a decade.
