The Daily Score: Bears fire assistant coach; Poles talks Sweat, Johnson contracts, praises Eberflus - a podcast by Radio.com

From 'The Daily Score' (subscribe here): Mark Grote recaps a wild day at Halas Hall, including the Bears firing running backs coach David Walker and the organization working on a contract extension with newly-acquired pass rusher Montez Sweat, whom Washington traded to Chicago in exchange for a second-round pick Tuesday.

Grote also shares what cornerback Jaylon Johnson told reporters regarding his stalled contract extension talks with the Bears and his subsequent trade request. Johnson has coveted a long-term future with the Bears, but given the state of the negotiations, he saw the trade request as the best option for him personally. He also believed it would mark the end of his time in Chicago. Instead, a trade never came to fruition, so Johnson was back at Halas Hall on Wednesday still wondering about his contract future.

Plus, Grote shares general manager Ryan Poles' praise of coach Matt Eberflus amid the Bears' turbulent season.
