Jonathan Owens, the Bears safety best-known for his marriage to superstar gymnast Simone Biles, is leaving Chicago. Owens agreed to sign a one-year deal with the Colts, a source confirmed Friday.
Owens spent two years with the Bears, starting five games in 2024. He was a special teams contributor, playing 55% of the team’s kicking downs in 2024 and 58% in 2025. The Bears’ safeties room will look very different next year after starters Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker agreed to sign one-year deals with the Patriots and Steelers, respectively.
Byard has been his wife’s biggest fan since their 2023 marriage.
