Bears Acquire Veteran Center Garrett Bradbury from Patriots

The Chicago Bears are trading for veteran center Garrett Bradbury to fill the void left by the sudden retirement of Drew Dalman. The Bears will send a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for Bradbury, who started all 17 games for New England last season. The move reunites Bradbury with former college teammate Joe Thuney on the Bears' offensive line. The deal is expected to be processed when the new league year officially begins next Wednesday.
