Bears Land Jeffery Simmons for 2 First-Round Picks Ahead of Nov. 10 Deadline
3 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Nov 9
Summary
Two first-round picks sent to Tennessee gave Chicago the biggest move yet before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline, with the Bears acquiring defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons.
The deal reflects the deadline split across the league: contenders are paying up to strengthen Super Bowl pushes, while other teams are moving core pieces to reset for future seasons.
Trade activity was already accelerating around Simmons’ move, with Houston landing Marvin Harrison Jr. from Arizona and Jacksonville adding Jessie Bates from Atlanta.
Tuesday’s final hours are expected to bring more deals as front offices keep reshaping rosters on both win-now and rebuilding timelines.
