The two-year, $15 million deal with Byard is part of the Bears' strategic moves to upgrade their defense for the upcoming season.

Byard, who has been a starting safety for eight seasons, brings experience and a strong track record, including two first-team All-Pro selections.
The Bears are actively upgrading their defense, with Byard's signing following the extension of cornerback Jaylon Johnson and the addition of other key defensive players.
