The Chicago Bears have acquired defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans in a major trade that sends a package including two first-round draft picks to Tennessee. The deal, reported on October 29, 2026, significantly bolsters Chicago's defensive line with one of the NFL's premier interior disruptors.
Simmons, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, has been a cornerstone of the Titans' defense since being drafted in the first round in 2019. His addition gives the Bears a dominant presence in the middle of their defensive front, pairing with existing talent to create a formidable unit.
In exchange, the Titans receive valuable draft capital, including two first-round selections, as they continue to reshape their roster. The trade signals a win-now approach for Chicago while providing Tennessee with assets for future building.
