The Chicago Bears have finalized a high-profile trade to land All-Pro defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans, according to reporting from ESPN and Fox News. Details reported by Fox News show that Chicago sent away first-round choices in 2027 and 2028 alongside a 2027 fourth-rounder, receiving Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round selection in exchange.
According to Fox News, Simmons has generated 46.5 sacks and 414 tackles across 106 career outings since Tennessee took him 19th overall in the 2019 draft. The four-time Pro Bowl defender remains under contract through 2030 after signing a three-year extension valued at $105.8 million. The arrival gives a boost to a 5-2 Chicago squad contending in the NFC North, while the 1-6 Titans part with an established defensive foundation.
