Chicago Bears Acquire DT Jeffery Simmons in Pricey Trade with the Tennessee Titans

The Chicago Bears acquired defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans in a blockbuster trade Thursday. Chicago sent first-round picks in 2027 and 2028 plus a fourth-rounder in the following year, receiving Simmons and a fifth-round selection in 2028. Bears coach Ben Johnson called Simmons an “impactful run defender” and disruptive pass-rusher, adding that his leadership would benefit the whole team. The move comes as Caleb Williams leads Chicago to back-to-back wins and a 5-2 record heading into Monday night at Seattle, with the team chasing unbeaten Minnesota in the NFC North. Simmons, 29, has four sacks in seven games this season and leads defensive tackles with 28 pressures.
