"Garrett Bradbury wasn't on my radar as a Bears trade candidate because he had just come off a season in which he started in every game the Patriots played last season. Bradbury started all 17 regular-season games and each of the team's four postseason contests. But because the team had 2025 third-round pick Jared Wilson waiting in the wings, Bradbury became expendable."
"2025 stats: 17 games, 0 sacks allowed, 4 quarterback hits allowed, 20 total pressures allowed, 0 penalties in 1,070 snaps. Recent Pro Football Focus grades: 59.8 (2025, 29th of 37 centers), 52.8 (2024, 27th/40 Cs), 60.9 (2023, 23rd/36 Cs), 67.5 (2022, 11th/36 Cs)"
"The Bears agreed to send a 2027 fifth-round pick to the New England Patriots to acquire Garrett Bradbury on March 6. However, the deal cannot be finalized and made official until 3 p.m. CT on March 11."
The Chicago Bears quickly addressed their center position by trading for Garrett Bradbury following Drew Dalman's retirement. The 30-year-old center was acquired from the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick. Bradbury started all 17 regular-season games and four playoff games for the Patriots in 2025, posting strong pass protection metrics with zero sacks allowed and zero penalties across 1,070 snaps. The Patriots made him expendable after selecting third-round pick Jared Wilson. Bradbury brings playoff experience and a decorated college pedigree, though his recent Pro Football Focus grades have declined from his earlier career performance.
