The Chicago Bears signed veteran safety Jonathan Owens to a two-year deal on Tuesday.
Owens comes to Chicago after spending one year with the Green Bay Packers, where he had a pretty good year. He totaled 84 tackles, including two for a loss, one sack, one forced fumble, and three pass breakups.
Before his one-year stint in Green Bay, he spent the first four years of his career with the Houston Texans.
This is a fun move for some people who know he’s the husband of Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles. She is one of the greatest American Olympians of all time, and now her husband is coming to Chicago.
In terms of football, Owens is going to be a great addition to the = Bears secondary. With some of the things they are doing on the defensive side of the ball, it is clear that they are going to have a very strong unit in 2024. Getting him out of Green Bay is a plus, as well.
These are some of the best Owens highlights:

Really like the Jonathan Owens signing by the #Packers.
He's coming off a season where he started all 17 games and recorded 125 tackles.
Some much needed help at the safety position.pic.twitter.com/nQmUnTXSoi
