The next trade Bears must make after Jeffery Simmons bombshell

The Chicago Bears have committed to winning now by agreeing to acquire Jeffery Simmons. Their next move should reinforce that investment by bringing Khalil Mack back from the Los Angeles Chargers. After agreeing to send the Tennessee Titans first-round picks in 2027 and 2028 plus a 2027 fourth-rounder for Simmons and a 2028 fifth-rounder Thursday, the Bears should pursue another impact defender at a lower acquisition cost. The Simmons trade remains pending a physical. Offering the Atlanta Falcons’ 2027 fifth-round pick for Mack would be a sensible starting point before the November 10 NFL trade deadline.
