The New England Patriots have traded Garrett Bradbury to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick, according to a report from @RapSheet.
Bradbury originally joined the Patriots last year after signing a two-year contract with the organization. During his tenure in New England, he established himself as a consistent presence in the lineup, appearing in and starting all 17 games for the club. His performance on the field was a contributing factor in the Patriots making a successful run to the Super Bowl last season.
The Chicago Bears will now add Bradbury to their roster, while the Patriots receive draft compensation three years into the future. By moving Bradbury, the Patriots part ways with a player who had one year remaining on the multi-year deal he signed during the previous offseason.
The trade involves a future asset for New England, with the 2027 selection being the return for a player who started every game during the Patriots' most recent campaign. Bradbury now joins the Bears following his one-season stint in the AFC East.
