#Bears corner Jaylon Johnson has requested a trade, per source. Chicago granted permission to search for a new home before today’s trade deadline. The player and team negotiated a new contract last week but couldn’t come close to a deal. So, a talented corner is now available. pic.twitter.com/XCU5EsZqF2

The 24-year-old, who has a career-high two interceptions already this season, was selected by the Bears in the second round of the 2020 draft.
All eyes on Washington?
The Washington Commanders appear set to sell on Tuesday, with pass rushers Montez Sweat and Chase Young potentially available.
John Keim of ESPN believes the Atlanta Falcons could be a landing spot for Sweat, who could be open to signing an extension with his hometown team.
Teams of course have called on Young as well. Not sure about a firm offer tho. Also: If they trade Sweat, hard to imagine Young gone as well. He’s been productive; can certainly afford to keep. Why trade unless excellent value 4 him?

Keim argues that the Commanders aren’t likely to deal both Sweat and Young, unless the team can get strong value back in a trade.
Along with Sweat and Young, Carolina Panthers pass rusher Brian Burns could draw interest on the trade market. Burns, 25, is also currently playing out an expiring deal for the one-win Panthers.
One name to watch will be Brian Burns. Some waiting to see what happens with him before pursuing others. … Also, again, Jacoby Brissett is valued here as a mentor to Howell — his development is key; JB helps — and insurance just in case.

Will the Vikings replace Cousins?
The Minnesota Vikings will have to decide Tuesday whether to mortgage some of their future to try and replace Kirk Cousins.
The Vikings lost Cousins for the remainder of the season on Sunday with a torn Achilles. He suffered the injury in the second half of the team’s win over the Green Bay Packers, which improved Minnesota’s record to 4-4.
