Bears finalize blockbuster trade for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons
The Chicago Bears completed a trade for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, and the player said he was excited to join the team and addressed his earlier remarks about quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears sent two first-round selections and a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans and received Simmons along with a 2028 fifth-round pick.
Titans head coach Robert Saleh said the deal was unavoidable given the team’s 1-6 record, while GM Mike Borgonzi said it fit the Titans’ long-term plans. League executives expressed mixed reactions to the cost of the trade.
