Leila Rahimi broke down her "receipts" that detailed Bears general manager Ryan Poles' history with contract extensions for players before pondering what made Poles balk at reaching terms on an extension with cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who wasn't dealt as the trade deadline passed Tuesday afternoon. That development transpired after Johnson requested a trade out of Chicago and was granted permission to explore options for a move. Johnson and the Bears had been negotiating a contract extension in recent days, with discussions held over the weekend, but that dialogue didn’t produce an agreement.
