Coby Bryant Joins Bears on $40 Million Deal After Caleb Williams' Personal Pitch

The Super Bowl–winning safety says Chicago's young quarterback influenced his choice.

Overview

  • Chicago signed former Seahawks defensive back Coby Bryant to a three-year, $40 million contract, per ESPN.
  • Bryant told Up & Adams that Caleb Williams personally reached out after he agreed to terms, which he said mattered in his decision.
  • Calling Williams an “elite talent” who is “just scratching the surface,” Bryant pointed to the quarterback’s 2025 breakout as evidence of upside.
  • He said the Bears pursued him immediately, phoning at 7 a.m. when the negotiation period opened, which reinforced how much the team wanted him.
  • Fresh off a Super Bowl with Seattle, Bryant brings proven production (227 tackles, seven interceptions) and says he is eager to face his former team, even welcoming an opener in Seattle.
