Owens started 11 games for the Packers in his lone season in Green Bay. On Wednesday, he’ll sign a two-year deal with the Bears.

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.


While his defensive performance left a bad taste in the mouths of Packers fans, Owens was a solid gunner on special teams and contributed on various other units. At the moment, it’s unclear whether Owens will be in the mix on defense for Chicago or if he’ll simply be asked to be a special teamer. Currently, the details of his contract are not available.


Owens’ wife, Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles, took to Twitter/X to speak on the transaction, first to thank Packers fans and second to celebrate no longer needing a connecting flight to Green Bay .






just wanted to say thank you packer nation for embracing my husband & I green bay will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Despite the fact that Green Bay did sign a splash free agent at the position in Xavier McKinney , the team still needs another starter next to him at safety. Not only have the Packers now lost Owens, but Savage has also agreed to a free-agent deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars . Be it free agency or the draft, general manager Brian Gutekunst will need to find someone to pair with McKinney this offseason. With Owens out of the picture, an outside signing becomes even more likely.


Based on the Packers’ activity on the linebacker front , the team must think they still have some money to play around with in the veteran market.

In all seriousness, he was a pretty solid ST guy but we need to improve at S going forward. Probably saw the writing on the wall.

    Zero2Cool (16h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (20h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (21h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (21h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (21h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (21h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (21h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (21h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (21h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (21h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (22h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (22h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
