According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with former Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens. Owens will ink a two-year deal with the Bears on Wednesday when free agency officially begins in the NFL.
Last season, Owens signed a one-year, $1.01 million contract with the Packers to be a cheap veteran addition to their safety room. With Adrian Amos on the way out, Green Bay had Owens and Rudy Ford split time at safety across from Darnell Savage. Ultimately, Owens started 11 games for the Packers after starting 17 for the Houston Texans the season prior.
