The Chicago Bears and safety Coby Bryant agree on a 3-year, $40 million contract, AP source says
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears and former Seattle Seahawks safety Coby Bryant have agreed to a three-year, $40 million contract, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract can’t be finalized until the start of the league year on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old Bryant — named after the Los Angeles Lakers great — was a key part of a defense that allowed the fewest points in the NFL and helped Seattle win its second Super Bowl championship last season. He had four interceptions after recording three in 2024 and seven passes defensed in 15 games. He missed the final two regular-season games because of a knee injury and returned in the playoffs.
Chicago went 11-6 last season and won its first division title since 2018. The Bears advanced in the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, rallying to beat Green Bay in a wild-card thriller before losing to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in the divisional round. ___
