Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson and his wife, Jessica, on July 19 placed their four-bedroom, 3,940-square-foot house in the Detroit suburb of Plymouth, Mich. on the market for $1.1 million.
In January, Johnson, 39, was announced as the Bears' 19th head coach in the team's history, after Johnson previously had served as an assistant coach for six years for the Detroit Lions. There is no information yet on if he and his wife have bought a Chicago-area home yet.
In Plymouth, the Johnsons paid $825,000 for the house, which was built in 2017 and sits on a 0.17-acre lot. The house has four full bathrooms, hardwood floors, solid eight-foot molded doors, crown moldings, custom built-ins and a great room with beamed ceiling accents and a gas fireplace.
Other features include a dining room with custom built-ins and 'sophisticated trim details,' according to listing information, while the kitchen has premium cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a large center island. The house also has a newly finished basement and a first-floor office/guest room with a custom built-in Murphy bed, while the second floor has a primary bedroom suite with a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a bathroom with a double vanity.
Outdoor features include a large front porch with a wood ceiling, an attached two-car garage and a fenced yard.
The Johnsons' listing agent, Eddie Mallad, declined to comment on the listing.
The house had a $17,757 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year.

Billion-dollar disasters: The economic toll of wildfires, severe storms and earthquakes is soaring

Weather disasters in the first half of this year have cost the United States $93 billion in damage, according to a report released Tuesday by a German multinational insurance company. The analysis by Munich Re, the world's largest reinsurer, found that more than 70% of all damage globally from weather disasters so far this year occurred in the U.S., with uninsured Americans and their local governments experiencing a whopping $22 billion in damage. The report shows the soaring economic toll that wildfires, severe storms and other extreme events are exacting in the U.S. and globally. The findings also highlight the growing insurance crisis playing out in parts of the country that are prone to frequent weather disasters. 'We have seen some 90% of all losses for the insurance industry — so 72 out of 80 billion U.S. dollars — have happened in the U.S.,' said Tobias Grimm, Munich Re's chief climate scientist. 'That's extraordinary.' The devastating wildfires in Southern California in January topped the list of the country's costliest disasters in the first half of 2025. The two largest fires, which killed at least 30 people and displaced thousands more, ripped through the communities in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, fanned by strong Santa Ana winds. Munich Re estimated that the wildfires caused $53 billion in losses, including about $13 billion in damages for residents without insurance. The reinsurer said the Los Angeles-area blazes resulted in the 'highest wildfire losses of all time.' The wildfires' huge economic and societal toll was due in part to increased development in fire-prone areas. 'Losses are on the rise because often properties are in harm's way,' Grimm said. 'People still live in high-risk areas.' Urban development in hazard-prone areas can similarly drive up the cost of other weather-related disasters, such as hurricanes and flooding, which are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. Studies have shown that climate change is making wildfires more frequent because of warmer temperatures and worsening drought conditions. Blazes are also becoming more intense, as a result. A report released in late January from the World Weather Attribution group found that the hot, dry and windy conditions that helped the fires consume large swaths of Southern California were about 35% more likely because of human-caused global warming.

Euro under pressure as U.S.-EU trade deal fails to impress

The euro struggled to recoup its steep losses on Tuesday as investors sobered up to the fact that terms of the trade deal between the U.S. and the European Union favored the former and hardly lifted the economic outlook of the bloc. France, on Monday, called the framework trade agreement a "dark day" for Europe, saying the bloc had caved in to U.S. President Donald Trump with an unbalanced deal that slapped a headline 15% tariff on EU goods. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said his economy would suffer "significant" damage due to the agreed tariffs. The euro slid 1.3% in the previous session, its sharpest one-day percentage fall in over two months, on worries about growth and as euro-area government bond yields fell. The common currency last traded 0.07% higher at $1.1594. "It hasn't taken long for markets to conclude that this relatively good news is still, in absolute terms, bad news as far as the near term implications for euro zone growth are concerned," said Ray Attrill, head of FX research at National Australia Bank. "The deal has been roundly condemned by France while others - including German Chancellor Merz, are playing up the negative consequences for exporters, and with that, economic growth." The slide in the euro in turn boosted the dollar, which jumped 1% against a basket of currencies overnight. The dollar held on to gains on Tuesday and knocked sterling to a two-month low of $1.3349. The yen edged marginally higher to 148.49 per dollar. The dollar index steadied at 98.67. "While the U.S. dollar's strength... may reflect the perception that the new U.S.-EU deal is lopsided in favor of the U.S., the U.S. dollar's strength may also reflect a feeling that the U.S. is re-engaging with the EU and with its major allies," said Thierry Wizman, global FX and rates strategist at Macquarie Group. Still, Trump said on Monday most trading partners that do not negotiate separate trade deals would soon face tariffs of 15% to 20% on their exports to the United States, well above the broad 10% tariff he set in April. Elsewhere, the Australian dollar eased 0.05% to $0.6518, while the New Zealand dollar was little changed at $0.5972. The offshore yuan was little changed at 7.1813 per dollar. Top U.S. and Chinese economic officials met in Stockholm on Monday for more than five hours of talks aimed at resolving long-standing economic disputes at the center of a trade war between the world's top two economies, seeking to extend a truce by three months. Apart from trade negotiations, focus this week is also on rate decisions from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Japan (BOJ). Both central banks are expected to stand pat on rates, but traders will watch subsequent comments to gauge the timing of their next moves.

Hall of Famer, beloved Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg dead at 65 after battle with cancer

Hall of Famer and Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg has died after a long battle with cancer, MLB announced on Monday night. Sandberg was 65 years old. "We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg," MLB wrote in a statement on social media. "The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early '90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards." "With great sadness, we share that Ryne Sandberg has passed away today," the Cubs wrote in a statement on X with a picture of "Ryno." Sandberg was named league MVP during the 1984 season, where he had a league-leading 8.5 WAR, while also leading the way in runs (114) and triples (19). He slashed .314/.367/.520 that year with 36 doubles, 19 homers and 84 RBI over 156 games. MLB's tribute to Sandberg included his performance on June 23, 1984, which was forever dubbed "The Sandberg Game." "On June 23, 1984, a national TV audience watched Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in the 9th and 10th innings off Cardinals closer and future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter. Part of a magical Cubs Postseason run, the game is forever remembered in Chicago as "The Sandberg Game." He went on to win the 1984 NL MVP Award," MLB wrote. Sandberg debuted with the Philadelphia Phillies, the team that drafted him in the 20th round of the 1978 Amateur Draft out of North Central High School in Spokane, Wash., in 1981. While he was quickly moved to the Cubs the following season, Sandberg returned to manage the Phillies for parts of three seasons. But Sandberg's legacy on the diamond came on the north side of the Windy City, where he hit .285/.344/.452 with 282 homers and 2,151 hits over 15 seasons with the Cubs. Other than his stellar defense, Sandberg won seven Silver Slugger awards and won a Home Run Derby. "On June 23, 2024, the 340th anniversary of his iconic moment, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Sandberg outside Wrigley Field," MLB's statement continued. Sandberg was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005.
