BREAKING NEWS: BEARS TRADE FOR JEFFERY SIMMONS! Ryan Poles GOES ALL-IN
18m | Oct 29, 2026🚨🐻 **BREAKING: THE CHICAGO BEARS HAVE TRADED FOR ALL-PRO DEFENSIVE TACKLE JEFFERY SIMMONS!**
Ryan Poles just made the aggressive move Bears fans have been waiting for.
Chicago is acquiring 29-year-old defensive tackle **Jeffery Simmons from the Tennessee Titans**, giving Dennis Allen one of the NFL’s premier interior defensive linemen for a Bears team already sitting at 5-2.
And Bears fans…
THIS changes the defense.
Simmons enters Chicago with:
🔥 4 sacks through seven games in 2026
💥 38 tackles
🛡️ 4 passes defended
💪 1 forced fumble
And this isn’t a player coming off one good stretch.
Simmons earned **first-team All-Pro honors in 2025** after posting:
🚨 11 sacks
🚨 17 tackles for loss
🚨 60 quarterback pressures
🚨 3 forced fumbles
He also signed a massive three-year, $105.8 million extension with Tennessee this summer, meaning Chicago isn’t simply acquiring a short-term rental.

🏆 And does this trade officially mean Ryan Poles believes the 5-2 Bears can make a legitimate SUPER BOWL run right now?
