The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has taken enforcement actions against many financial companies, angering the industry and Republican lawmakers, who accuse it of overreaching its authority.

Shead played well last season with 81 tackles, 14 passes defensed and one interception — of New England QB Tom Brady — in the regular season.
