Jeffery Simmons Traded to Bears for Historic Haul, Bolstering Super Bowl Pursuit

All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, 29, was traded to the Chicago Bears from the Tennessee Titans in a blockbuster deal. The Titans received 2027 and 2028 first-round picks, plus a 2027 fourth-rounder, sending a 2028 fifth-round pick back to Chicago. Simmons, who had 11 sacks in 2025 and 4 sacks this season, becomes the first DT since 1967 to command multiple first-round picks in trade. He has four years left on his $105.8M deal and is expected to debut Monday against the Seahawks, significantly bolstering the 5-2 Bears' defense.
