A few things to note on the Bears and Titans trade for star DT Jeffery Simmons:
- Jeffery Simmons is one of the best players in football and Chicago was planning on being aggressive on adding a defensive piece. This was a bigger swing than they initially intended to do, but pivoted after looking at their other deadline options on defense.

- Asking around the league, the consensus is that Chicago better win right away. They almost have to to justify what they gave up. Everyone agreed that they are now one of the true contenders in the NFC.

That played a role in getting a deal done with a player that many thought was off limits. - Asking around the league, the consensus is that Chicago better win right away. They almost have to to justify what they gave up. Everyone agreed that they are now one of the true contenders in the NFC. - The Titans got a deal they just couldn't pass up once it…
- 5d Jordan Schultz (X) The BTS of how the Jeffery Simmons deal came together, according to multiple league sources. Having checked in with the Titans several times over the last couple weeks, the message was he’s not available. But this is a reminder, as one team said: “Everyone has a price.” The reality is that these two GMs — Mike Borgonzi and Ryan Poles — know each other from their days together in Kansas City. The Bears, according to multiple sources, made a push for DeForest Buckner as well, but didn’t feel comfortable with the draft capital Indy wanted. Instead, they then pivoted to arguably the best DT in football in Simmons, with the feeling that he changes the entire complexion of the defense and makes them a bona fide Super Bowl threat. After hearing from as many as 3 other teams inquiring on Simmons, the Titans simply felt that Chicago’s offer had reached a price where “we could not say no anymore.” That’s when this thing became serious, and that’s why it happened so quickly. · Quoting…
- 5d Erik Lambert (X) I wrote a couple of days ago that the relationship between Ryan Poles and Titans GM Mike Borgonzi might prove decisive in a Simmons trade. #Bears
- 5d Albert Breer (X) Titans GM Mike Borgonzi and Bears GM Ryan Poles worked together in Kansas City from 2009-21, and actually were together at Boston College in 2007 when Poles was a player and Borgonzi was a young assistant. High level of trust b/w the two was a big factor in the Simmons deal.

- 5d David Lombardi (X) If Jeffery Simmons finishes out his entire contract with Chicago, the Bears will end up paying him ~$25 million per year. Simmons' initial deal with Tennessee was worth ~$35 million annually. Bears not responsible for the signing bonus already paid by Titans. What they paid in the trade also bought a significant discount on the salary cap. 49ers saw a similar benefit with their 2022 CMC trade — plus the boost of a Carolina restructure just months before the deal. It ensured that greater financial onus would go on the Panthers

- 5d David Lombardi (X) Chicago might be better positioned to be a long-term threat/archrival of the 49ers — who have Brock Purdy just entering his prime — in the NFC than any other team in the conference.

- 5d Kevin Fishbain (Bluesky) Per @jjones9.bsky.social, here's the trade compensation (sans typo)... Bears get: DT Jeffery Simmons, Ten 2028 fifth-rounder Titans get: Chi 2027 first- and fourth-rounders, 2028 first+1
- 5d Adam Schefter (mirror, Bluesky) Monday Night Football this week is Bears vs. Seahawks. 🏈Chicago gets: Pro Bowl DT Jeffery Simmons 🏈Seattle gets: Pro Bowl G Quenton Nelson+1
- 5d Adam Schefter (mirror, Bluesky) What the Bears are getting in 29-year-old Jeffery Simmons: 🏈3x All-Pro 🏈4x Pro-Bowl selection 🏈44.5 sacks 🏈8 forced fumbles 🏈6 fumble recoveries 🏈30 pass deflections+1
- 5d Matt Lombardo (Bluesky) We listed Jeffery Simmons as one of the players most likely to be traded just yesterday at Between The Hashmarks. Subscribers are once again ahead of the curve. The Bears get a game-altering playmaker, in a move that signals Ryan Poles is all on on maximizing Caleb Williams’ Super Bowl window.
- 5d Jeremy Fowler (X) More on Jeffery Simmons to Chicago NFC North loaded. Separators needed. Chicago got one.
- 5d Erik Lambert (X) Before everyone says we got fleeced, look at the numbers for draft capital to make this make sense! Y’all forget the math sometimes… Not all first-round picks are created equal. The NFL’s traditional draft-value chart assigns the No. 1 overall pick 3,000 points. The No. 25 pick? Just 720. The No. 30 pick? Only 620. Think about that. A single first overall pick is worth nearly FIVE TIMES as much as pick No. 30 according to the chart. So when someone says the Bears gave up two first-round picks, the natural reaction is that Chicago mortgaged its future. Especially lame ass Packers fans who will love talking shit on this. But did they? The Bears are currently 5-2, and if Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson continue building what we’re seeing, Chicago has a legitimate opportunity to become a perennial playoff contender. Let’s assume the Bears finish with the 25th pick in 2027 and the 28th pick in 2028. Using the traditional Jimmy Johnson draft-value chart: 2027 first (#25): 720…
- 5d David Lombardi (X) Dexter Lawrence and Jeffery Simmons are the two best defensive tackles in the NFL Lawrence was traded for the 10th overall pick. The Jimmy Johnson trade chart is outdated but according to that, the Bears picks need to be 28th and 29th to match that in value
- 5d Sal Capaccio (X) Jeffery Simmons is the first interior defensive lineman to ever be traded for multiple 1st round picks. He is a great player. But that is not normally a position a team pays that kind of price for. Bears going for it this year with Caleb on his rookie deal.
- 5d Jordan Schultz (X) Text from an NFC GM: “Respect to the Bears for doing that. That offense with this defense now makes them a Super Bowl roster for this year and for years to come without a doubt.” · Quoting Jordan Schultz: BREAKING: Titans are trading Jeffery Simmons to the Bears, per sources.
- 5d Kevin Fishbain (Bluesky) Newest Bears DT Jeffery Simmons currently ranks No. 1 on ESPN's pass rush win rate for defensive tackles. He finished second in that category last season and first in 2024.
- 5d Albert Breer (X) We'll see if they play but potential for Monday Night Football this week ... Seahawks G Quenton Nelson vs. Bears DT Jeffery Simmons.
- 5d EJ Smith (X) That price seems like great news for Howie Roseman. Strengthens what the #Eagles could get for Moro Ojomo, who isn't under contract like Simmons but is younger. I'd have guessed they could get a third-round pick for Ojomo, this Simmons deal makes that seem even more likely. · Quoting Albert Breer: Again, the final terms ... Bears get: DT Jeffery Simmons, 2028 fifth-round pick. Titans get: 2027 first-round pick, 2028 first-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick. When I did my All-Pro calls last year, there was no more resounding first-teamer with coaches/execs than Simmons.

- 5d David Lombardi (X) The Bears also acquire Jeffery Simmons just in time to play the Seahawks — and face Quenton Nelson — on Monday night
- 5d Erik Lambert (X) The #Bears have most of the pieces in place for a run. The only thing most felt they were missing was a true superstar on defense. To the shock of many, they went out and got one. Jeffery Simmons has arrived and is everything this team was missing.
- 5d David Lombardi (X) I expect Jeffery Simmons to move Chicago logo a solid amount north. If that #16 defense moves to at least #12, the Bears are bona fide contenders. Caleb Williams and Brock Purdy are already 1-2 in QBR. Chicago just needs a better defense to complement that
- 5d David Lombardi (X) This right here: The 49ers are subscribing to it. And the Bears are definitely subscribing to it, too. At the level of two 1s and a 4 for Jeffery Simmons · Quoting David Lombardi: Look at Dexter Lawrence. And then consider that the Bengals have gone from #29 to #5 in defense after trading for Lawrence. There's massive improvement efficiency in acquiring a dominant interior rush. The 49ers subscribe to this too, having traded for both Osa and DeForest

Saleh referenced two suicides in the NFL over the past year and expressed concern about players struggling without getting the help they need. “These kids go through a lot. I will stand on the table for Jordan’s character. My message to 31 other teams: If you need a hell of a run-stopping DT that can help for a playoff run, give me a call.

Unfortunately, rules are rules with regard to guns on property. And sometimes it’s far greater than the knee-jerk reaction of kicking somebody when they’re down. My message to 31 other teams would be if you need a helluva run-stopping D-tackle that can help you on a playoff run, give me a call. I’ll tell you everything you need to know about him. He’s a good man. Had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a criminal act. It’s unfortunate the way it went down. As far as Jordan’s concerned and the locker room and all that, I think people see it differently here than the knee-jerk reaction of the world.”
