The Chicago Bears are acquiring veteran center Garrett Bradbury from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick, per @AdamSchefter of ESPN.
The trade provides the Bears with an experienced veteran on the interior of their offensive line. Bradbury, who has significant experience as a starter in the NFL, will now head to Chicago as the team continues to solidify its front five. In return, the Patriots receive future draft capital, securing a selection in the 2027 NFL Draft as they continue to manage their roster depth.
The move highlights Chicago's ongoing effort to bolster their protection units and provide veteran leadership in the trenches. Bradbury brings a wealth of knowledge to a Bears offensive line that has seen various configurations throughout the offseason. The Patriots, meanwhile, opt to move the veteran lineman in exchange for a future asset three years down the road.
