Bears Legend Brian Urlacher Reveals True Feelings About Jeffery Simmons Trade

Bears legend Brian Urlacher claims that the team trading two first-round picks for Jeffery Simmons was "a steal".

Bears legend Brian Urlacher expressed his high regard for newly acquired defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons after his impressive debut performance. Simmons' immediate impact was evident in his first game with the Chicago Bears, where he contributed six tackles, two tackles for loss, and a crucial sack during a 34-17 victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

Urlacher, speaking on the Manningcast alternate broadcast of the Monday game, praised Simmons' play, stating, "Immediate impact," and emphasizing the value of the hefty price tag paid to secure the player. The Bears reportedly traded multiple first-round picks to the Tennessee Titans to acquire Simmons. As the team looks to contend for a Super Bowl this year, the addition of Simmons has already positioned the Bears among the elite teams in the NFC, according to Urlacher.

The duo will continue their winning streak in the upcoming Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are currently on a two-game winning run.
