The Bears will now be without both of their starting safeties from 2025. Via NFL Media, the Steelers have agreed to terms with Jaquan Brisker. It's a one-year, $5.5 million deal. Brisker, a second-round pick in 2022, started all 17 games in 2025 and both playoff games. He started 15 games in each of his first two years; injuries limited him to five games in 2024. Previously, starting Bears safety (and 2026 first-team All-Pro) Kevin Byard signed with the Patriots, on a one-year, $9 million deal. The Bears, in turn, have signed former Seahawks safety Coby Bryant to a three-year, $40 million deal. The Steelers' 2025 starting safeties — DeShon Elliott and Jalen Ramsey — are both under contract for 2026.
