Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor reportedly expressed satisfaction with the Chicago Bears regarding a trade involving defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, according to Bengals Wire. The transaction, which reportedly took place ahead of the NFL's 2026 trade deadline, saw Simmons move between the organizations in a deal that left Taylor and the Bengals' front office pleased with the outcome.
Details of the compensation package and specific terms were not immediately disclosed. Simmons, a Pro Bowl-caliber interior defender previously with the Tennessee Titans, adds significant disruptive ability to any defensive line. The Bengals' apparent happiness with the Bears' cooperation suggests the negotiation process was smooth and the acquired assets met Cincinnati's strategic needs for the remainder of the season.
