The Chicago Bears have acquired All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons in a trade with the Tennessee Titans. In return, the Titans receive the Bears' first-round picks in 2027 and 2028, along with a fourth-round selection in next year's draft. Tennessee also sends a fifth-round pick in 2028 back to Chicago.
