Hosts Ryan O'Leary and Alyssa Barbieri react to the Bears' surprising trade for star defensive end Montez Sweat. Were the Bears right to spend such a high draft pick on a player with an expiring contract? The hosts also discuss Jaylon Johnson’s future with the team, and search for clues on what is becoming an awkward situation between the team and Justin Fields. Why was the team’s QB1 ruled out for Week 9 so early? And why was Sunday Night Football broadcaster Cris Collinsworth talking up Tyson Bagent like he was Joe Montana? All of those topics, including another awkward Matt Eberflus press conference, are covered along with a Bears-Saints preview with predictions.
