Kansas City has completely revamped its cornerback room over the past few months, and it appears changes could still be coming at this spot. One of the team’s remaining unsigned free agents, Nazeeh Johnson, appears to be set to find a new home, and he has scheduled a visit with the Chicago Bears as his free agency continues to unfold.
Johnson has spent his first four seasons in the pros with the Chiefs after getting selected in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. While he didn’t have a massive role on the team, Johnson ended up winning the Super Bowl as a rookie with Kansas City. In 2023, though, he didn’t take the field at all, as it seemed his career was at a crossroads.
The ensuing year, Johnson earned a real role in the secondary, as he played in 16 games for K.C. (six of which were starts). Johnson finished the year with 56 tackles, one sack, and three pass breakups, although he struggled to hold his own in coverage deep down the field. Johnson made the move from safety to cornerback in 2025, but he only suited up for two games.
While the Chiefs don’t seem interested in bringing Johnson back to help its new-look cornerback room, teams across the league have been intrigued by his potential. After previously visiting both the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, Johnson is now taking a trip to Chicago, which is looking for some more help in its secondary.
