Bears hire coach with Myles Garrett ties after trade request
The Chicago Bears have recently hired Ben Johnson as their new head coach. Johnson, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions, has a notable connection to star defensive end Myles Garrett. Both were part of the Cleveland Browns organization, where Johnson was the offensive coordinator and Garrett was a standout defensive player. This shared tenure has led to speculation about the potential for Garrett to join the Bears, especially following his recent trade request from the Browns.

Garrett, drafted first overall by the Browns in 2017, has been a dominant force on their defense. His desire to move to a more competitive team has made him a highly sought-after player in the league. The Bears’ acquisition of Johnson could be seen as a strategic move to attract top talent like Garrett, given their previous working relationship.
