Trade Garrett Bradbury? Why The Bears Could Change Plans At Center

The Chicago Bears traded for Garrett Bradbury in March, sending a 5th round pick to the New England Patriots for the veteran center. It was easy to understand. Their original starter, Drew Dalman, had abruptly retired at age 27, leaving the team in a compromised position. Not wanting to get into a free-agent bidding war, they made the deal to gain some much-needed stability. Still, it didn’t completely solve the problem. Bradbury is in his 30s and has one year left on his contract. That gave the Bears two options.
