Jaylon Johnson Admits He’s A Recovering Sex Addict

Jaylon Johnson Admits He’s A Recovering Sex Addict

Jaylon Johnson was hit with the franchise tag and later signed a mega contract extension with the Bears. It was $76 million large for Johnson and it’s going to take every ounce of strength in him not to blow that money on sex toys.

Excuse me?

I’m not just making this up. Johnson’s press conference after signing his new contract was WILD.

“I think for me, though, it’s bigger than me,” Johnson said when asked why he revealed his therapy for sex addiction. “I want to say, for one it’s because I know I’m not the only one going through it for one. Two, it’s OK to go through stuff. It’s OK to not be perfect, and I feel like people put us literally on this pedestal to get up here and talk and oh well, guys are this, guys are that. Like man, we are human too. We go through things. Everybody goes through things, but I feel like people feel like you got to put a mask on, you got to cover it up. Like naw, it’s OK to go through things, it’s OK to seek help, it’s OK to be vulnerable.”

“It was good. Honestly, that was harder than anything,” Johnson said. “Everybody was talking about playing football. That’s easy. So I mean just going out and seeing my therapist on an off day, ‘It’s like damn. That’s where I’m most uncomfortable.’ But I mean, just throughout the week, just preparing myself mentally, I feel like it’s, I mean, people are talking about contracts, talking about all these different, I mean, I wasn’t worried about that. I was worried about trying to get myself right because, for me, it’s bigger than contacts. I mean me being who I need to be as a man, who I need to be as a father, as a partner, as a future husband, that’s more important. That’s something that lasts way longer than this podium, lasts way longer than this platform.

“So just for me looking myself in the mirror and knowing who I want to be, I think that was more important than contracts, contracts, contracts, football, football, football. Like man, football is the easiest thing for me to do.”

I’m just going to keep this brief so you can draw your own conclusions. All I’ll say is let’s be nice to Johnson… Uh oh… is his last name a trigger word?

Football, football, football.
