The Chicago Bears have announced a trade to acquire defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, according to a report by Mike Florio on ProFootball Talk. The move adds a proven interior defensive lineman to the Bears' roster as they look to strengthen their defensive front.
Simmons, a former first-round pick, has established himself as one of the NFL's premier defensive tackles since entering the league. The trade was confirmed on Friday, October 30, 2026, though specific compensation details were not immediately disclosed.
The acquisition signals Chicago's commitment to bolstering their defensive line as they navigate the current season. Simmons brings both pass-rush ability and run-stopping prowess that should immediately impact the Bears' defensive scheme.
