"C Garrett Bradbury signed a renegotiated contract with the #Bears that converted $1M of incentives into guaranteed salary.The 30-year-old is now due $4.7M in 2026, with $3.7M guaranteed.- Spotrac (@spotrac) May 7, 2026"
"The Bears sent a 2027 fifth-round pick to acquire Garrett Bradbury in a trade with the New England Patriots earlier in the offseason. Swinging a trade for Bradbury quickly plugged a hole on Chicago's offensive line that was created with the surprising retirement of Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman. Bradbury came with a contract that had him projected to have a $5.7 cap hit in 2026. However, a renegotiated deal means he will make $4.7 million (with $3.7 million in guarantees) on the final year of a two-year deal he signed with the Patriots during the 2025 NFL offseason."
"Bradbury is projected to be the Bears' starter at center when the 2026 NFL regular season kicks off in September. However, the selection of Iowa center Logan Jones complicates matters. Chicago used the first of its three Day 2 picks on Jones, an All-American center who was a four-year starter at Iowa and a leader in the trenches for the Hawkeyes during his time on campus. You don't have to use the wildest regions of your imagination to envision a scenario in which Jones starts in Week 1 and sends the veteran to the bench."
Garrett Bradbury joined the Chicago Bears and already has a restructured contract. The renegotiation converts $1 million of incentives into guaranteed salary. Bradbury is due $4.7 million in 2026, with $3.7 million guaranteed. The Bears acquired him from the New England Patriots earlier in the offseason to fill the center role after Drew Dalman retired. Bradbury previously carried a projected $5.7 million cap hit in 2026, but the new deal reduces that figure. Logan Jones, an Iowa center selected by Chicago with a Day 2 pick, creates competition at center and could lead to Bradbury being benched if Jones starts early in the season.
