Indianapolis targets experienced special teams help to stabilize a thin safety group.

Overview

  • Owens’ agent, Sunny Shah, confirmed the one-year agreement reported by NFL insiders on March 13.
  • After two seasons with the Bears, the 30-year-old brings 35 career starts and extensive special teams experience, including 58% of Chicago’s ST snaps in 2025.
  • The signing follows starter Nick Cross’ free-agent exit to Washington, and Indianapolis also added safety Juanyeh Thomas to deepen competition alongside Cam Bynum.
  • An undrafted product out of Division II Missouri Western, Owens previously played for the Texans and Packers before his Chicago stint.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, and Simone Biles publicly celebrated the move, posting, “Indy, here we come,” on Instagram.
