Source: Bears signing 2-time Pro Bowl safety Kevin Byard
Free agent safety Kevin Byard is signing a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The Philadelphia Eagles released Byard earlier this month after trading two draft picks to acquire him before the trade deadline last season.
The Eagles acquired Byard from the Tennessee Titans last October for a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick in the 2024 draft along with safety Terrell Edmunds.
Byard, 30, played in 10 regular-season games for Philadelphia, recording an interception, 3 passes defended and 75 tackles.
Between the Titans and Eagles, Byard finished the 2023 season with 122 tackles, a career best.
A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Byard has 28 career interceptions over eight seasons. He also has 749 tackles and 4 sacks in 130 games.
The news of Byard's agreement with the Bears was first reported by CBS Sports.
ESPN's Tim McManus contributed to this report.
