The Baltimore Ravens are weighing a trade for Chicago Bears center Garrett Bradbury to address their starting center issue.
The Ravens lost former 1st-round pick and 3-time Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum to a 3-year, $81 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Bradbury, 6-foot-3 and 305 pounds, started 17 games for the New England Patriots in 2025 on the way to a Super Bowl appearance.
He was traded to the Bears for a 2027 5th-round pick in March.
The Ravens are 13th in the American Football Conference with a 5-12 record, on a W2 streak, as of July 4, 2026.

Bradbury has been a popular name for the Ravens in trade rumors since Linderbaum signed with the Raiders.
He was coached by Ravens offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford at North Carolina State.
The Bears used a second-round pick on Iowa center Logan Jones, making Bradbury's availability uncertain.
