Bears' new addition: Key to playoff success or failure

The Chicago Bears signed safety Coby Bryant this offseason to replace Kevin Byard, who departed for the New England Patriots. Bryant, who played over 1,000 defensive snaps for the Seahawks in 2025, signed a three-year, $40 million deal. His ability to create turnovers, having recorded seven interceptions and three forced fumbles in the last two seasons, is seen as crucial for the Bears' 2026 defensive performance.
