Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles has acquired defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons in a trade with the Tennessee Titans, signaling an aggressive approach to roster building. The move brings a proven interior disruptor to Chicago's defensive line.
Simmons, 27, has spent his entire career with the Titans since being drafted in 2019. He faced the Bears at Soldier Field on September 8, 2024, where Tennessee secured a victory. The trade details, including compensation, were not immediately disclosed.
Poles, entering his third season as general manager, has previously emphasized adding talent to the defensive front. The acquisition of Simmons addresses a key need and demonstrates the front office's willingness to make significant moves.
