Chicago Bears Reportedly Trade for Center Garrett Bradbury From New England Patriots

On March 6, 2026, the Bears acquired Garrett Bradbury from the Patriots for a 2027 fifth-round pick, according to reports.
Drew Dalman unexpectedly retired earlier this week, creating a vacancy at center, so Chicago Bears moved quickly to address the opening, prompting the trade.
Bradbury started all 17 games in 2025 and logged more than 1,000 offensive snaps, demonstrating durability and strong performance.
With Bradbury already acquired, the Bears gain an immediate veteran starter and likely pivot away from Tyler Linderbaum, Baltimore Ravens center, in free agency, as the move cannot be processed until the new league year.
By securing Bradbury now, the Bears free resources to draft a long-term center such as Logan Jones or Connor Lew in April, and reallocate cap space toward other needs.
