The Chicago Bears have signed Seattle Seahawks free agent safety Coby Bryant to a massive three-year deal, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported.
“Sources: The#Bears and standout S Coby Bryant have agreed to a 3 year $40M, per sources. Bryant has 7 INTs over the last two years and has started 34 games during his time with Seattle — amassing 7 forced fumbles and 17 passes defensed.”
Schultz also added this about Bryant:
“Coby Bryant was an essential component to the Seahawks defense and had a ton of interest. Seattle wanted him back, but the Bears made a huge offer.”
With both Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker hitting the open market, the Bears make a huge move and secure a standout safety who’s only 26 years old.
Bears Make Splash Signing Seahawks Safety Coby Bryant
In four seasons with the Seahawks, the former 2022 fourth-round pick racked up 227 total tackles, two sacks, seven forced fumbles, and seven interceptions.
This is a huge acquisition for Dennis Allen’s defense, and Bryant will be a key piece on defense moving forward.
Here’s what Daniel Popper of The Athletic has to say about Bryant:
“Bryant made a full-time switch from corner to safety in 2024. He got his career back on track that season and was a key starter on the Seahawks’ Super Bowl defense. Bryant has reliable eyes and positioning in the deep part of the field. He can support the run. His corner traits show up when he is carrying vertical routes and driving on routes underneath.”
Bryant was ESPN’s No. 43-ranked free agent, adding, “An interchangeable safety with the vision to get a jump on the ball from depth, Bryant had four interceptions in 2025. A good fit as a deep half defender in a zone scheme, Bryant can also spin down to patrol the edges as a cutoff defender. There’s some urgency to his game. Bryant has 7 interceptions, 2 forced fumbles and 5 passes broken up over his past two seasons.”
