Bears face scrutiny over Garrett Bradbury trade decision
Summary

The Chicago Bears are under scrutiny following their offseason trade with the New England Patriots for center Garrett Bradbury. The Bears swapped a 2027 fifth-round pick for Bradbury, despite selecting Logan Jones in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Critics question the move, suggesting that Bradbury's pass-protection issues could lead to Jones taking over the starting role sooner than expected. With the Bears looking to build on last season's playoff berth, the decision could significantly affect their offensive line performance this upcoming season.
