This page lists all the 2026 Trades for the New England Patriots. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2026 – Trades
Bears acquire C Garrett Bradbury from Patriots for 2027 5th-round pick
It’s pretty wild that the Bears are trading for Garrett Bradbury. They’ve had a chance to look at him twice per year when he was playing on the Vikings, so I don’t know how they determined that he’s worth a fifth-round pick, especially when the upcoming draft class has so many talented tackles.
This is a panic move by the Bears. Their center retired, so they thought they’d sign Tyler Biadasz as a replacement. With Biadasz going to the Chargers, Chicago could have just waited for a rookie center, but instead wasted a fifth-round selection on the anemic Bradbury, who was partly responsible for Drake Maye’s 22 playoff sacks.
This is an easy win for the Patriots. They were going to obtain an upgrade over Bradbury anyway, so they were able to obtain a free source by dumping their failed center.
Grade for Bears – D
Grade for Patriots – A
