Owens is likely to be Chicago's second-string free safety behind Kevin Byard after both players were signed to contracts in March. After the Bears signed Byard to a two-year, $15 million contract, it would seem likely that Owens will back up Byard at free safety. Should Owens move into a regular role at some point, he could have significant IDP value after averaging 105 tackles over the past two seasons.

Owens is likely to be Chicago's second-string free safety behind Kevin Byard after both players were signed to contracts in March. After the Bears signed Byard to a two-year, $15 million contract, it would seem likely that Owens will back up Byard at free safety. Should Owens move into a regular role at some point, he could have significant IDP value after averaging 105 tackles over the past two seasons.
The Bears are in line to sign Owens to a two-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Owens spent one season with Green Bay after four in Houston. With the Packers, Owens appeared in all 17 games (11 starts), finishing with 84 tackles (58 solo), three pass breakups, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Owens will likely serve as Chicago's third safety behind Jaquan Brisker and fellow newcomer Kevin Byard.
