The Tennessee Titans have traded All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears ahead of the NFL's November 10 trade deadline, according to multiple reports.
Trade Details
The Bears will send a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 first-round pick, and a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Titans. In return, Chicago receives Simmons along with a 2028 fifth-round pick.
Simmons' Career
Simmons, 29, was the 19th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and has spent his entire career with the Titans. He has earned four Pro Bowl selections since 2021. In the 2025 season, Simmons set career highs with 11 sacks and 17 tackles for loss, earning his first All-Pro honor.
Titans' Struggles and Other Moves
The trade comes as the Titans sit at 1-6 this season despite heavy offseason spending. Tennessee is preparing to face the Cincinnati Bengals this weekend. Simmons is the latest high-profile player moved before the deadline; earlier, the Philadelphia Eagles traded center Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens, and the Indianapolis Colts sent defensive tackle DeForest Buckner to the San Francisco 49ers and guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks.
