Chicago Sun-Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Chicago Bears traded a 2027 fifth-round draft pick to the New England Patriots for center Garrett Bradbury, following the retirement of Drew Dalman.
- Bradbury, who started all 17 games for the Patriots last season and previously for the Vikings, is entering the second year of a two-year, $9.6 million contract with a $5.7 million cap hit.
- Bradbury’s agility fits well with the Bears’ offensive system, and his existing friendship with Bears left guard Joe Thuney adds to team chemistry.
- The trade addresses an immediate need at center without ruling out the possibility of drafting a center in the upcoming NFL Draft.
- The Bears’ recent salary cap savings from Dalman’s
