What Garrett Bradbury trade to Bears means for the Patriots
Pats Pulpit • • sports
Key Points:
- The New England Patriots are trading starting center Garrett Bradbury to the Chicago Bears for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick, marking a significant change to their offensive line for the upcoming season.
- Jared Wilson, a 2025 third-round pick who played left guard last season, is expected to move back to his natural center position, while Ben Brown remains a backup option at center.
- The trade creates a need to fill the left guard spot, with potential solutions including veteran free agent signings or draft picks, as the Patriots aim to maintain a strong offensive line.
- Bradbury’s departure also represents a loss of leadership and locker room presence, following the recent release of veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, impacting team culture
