Bears Land Seahawks Safety
The Chicago Bears addressed their defensive needs by signing a former Seahawks safety to a three-year, $40 million contract [https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48054614/chicago-bears-2026-free-agency-tracker-offseason-moves-signings].
The Bears are banking on the safety's ability to bolster their secondary, which struggled with consistency last season. His experience in a complex defensive scheme should allow him to quickly integrate into Chicago's system. The $40 million deal includes $22 million in guaranteed money, showing the Bears' commitment. This move signals a clear intent to improve the defense after allowing 25 points per game in the previous season. The former Seahawks safety had 98 tackles and 3 interceptions last year. His arrival could allow Jaquan Brisker to play closer to the line of scrimmage, maximizing his strengths as a tackler.
