Jonathan Owens

Bears agreed to terms with S Jonathan Owens on a two-year contract.

Owens becomes the second safety to join the Bears after they reached a deal with Kevin Byard earlier in the week. Owens is listed as a free safety but has also played significant snaps at strong safety, making for a versatile piece in Matt Eberflus’ defense. In his lone season with the Packers, Owens totaled 84 tackles and two TFLs. He has started 28 of the last 34 games he’s appeared in since 2022.
