Story summary

As of October 29, 2026, the Chicago Bears acquired All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans in a significant trade. The Bears sent two first-round draft picks (in 2027 and 2028) and a fourth-rounder (in 2027) to the Titans, receiving Simmons and a fifth-round selection (also in 2028). This move came as the Bears are battling for a playoff spot with a record of 5-2, just two weeks before the NFL trade deadline. Simmons, who led the Titans with four sacks this season, is seen as a major upgrade to Chicago’s defense, which ranks near the bottom in pressure rate since 2025. Despite the high cost, the Bears remain optimistic about their chances for the Super Bowl, now projected at 11/1 odds.
