Five months after his seven-year Bears career came to an end, Eddie Jackson found a new home — with a familiar face — on Friday. The safety agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Ravens, who boast another former Bear, linebacker Roquan Smith, as perhaps their best defensive player.
Jackson figures to back up safeties Kyle Hamilton and Marcus Williams.
In 100 games over seven seasons, Jackson posted 15 interceptions and reached two Pro Bowls with the Bears. The 30-year-old former fourth-round pick from Alabama had four interceptions in 12 games in 2022 before being limited to one last year.
