The Jeffery Simmons Trade is Already Paying Dividends For the Bears

Last week, the Chicago Bears spent a ton of draft capital to acquire Jeffery Simmons, who many believe is the best defensive tackle in football. Stuck in Tennessee for the first 7.5 years of his career, Simmons never got the love that he deserved, but now that he’s finally made his way to a contender, the casual football fan is going to learn his name. Over the first seven years of his career, Simmons racked up 42.5 sacks, which included 11 sacks in 2025 alone. But he’s not just an elite pass rusher.
