A reported $30 million trade proposal from the Minnesota Vikings aims to counter the Chicago Bears' acquisition of defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, a four-time Pro Bowl selection.
Details of the Vikings' pitch remain undisclosed, but the move signals Minnesota's intent to strengthen its defensive line in response to Chicago's addition of the All-Pro lineman.
Simmons, who joined the Bears this offseason, has earned Pro Bowl honors in each of the past four seasons, establishing himself as one of the league's premier interior defenders.
