Titans head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Tennessee traded defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears for the Bears' next two first-round draft selections, saying the move was unavoidable given the team's 1-6 record. The deal, announced earlier in the week, also sent Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Chicago in exchange for the Titans' 2027 and 2028 first-round picks and a 2027 fourth-round pick.

Chicago gave up two first-round selections and a fourth-rounder to acquire the All-Pro defender. Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi said the trade fit the team's long-term rebuilding plan, while league executives noted the high cost of the player.
