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.
He's a surefire Hall of Famer who protects the franchise quarterback, and right now, he's got the front office by the throat. His agent is even playing games—why else do you think ESPN representative regurgitation machine Adam Schefter tweeted out that the Niners and Williams were in an impasse on Tuesday, roughly 90 minutes before Niners' general manager John Lynch spoke to the media at the NFL Draft Combine in Indianapolis?
The New England Patriots' offensive line has struggled in a major way across this playoff run. In each of their three games, they've allowed five sacks, something that happened just three times in their 17 regular-season games. Before the playoffs, they hadn't allowed five-plus sacks in a game since Week 9. While rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson have been inconsistent at best, right guard Mike Onwenu is playing his best football when it matters most.
