The Chicago Bears signed safety Kevin Byard to a two-year deal on Sunday. Byard, a former All-Pro safety with the Tennessee Titans, was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles last week. The 30-year-old didn't have to wait very long to find a new team as the Bears will bolster their up-and-coming defense. Byard will help to replace Eddie Jackson, who the team released back in February. Byard logged 122 total tackles and an interception across 16 games in 2023.

Free agent safety Kevin Byard visited with the Chicago Bears on Saturday, and he is expected to visit with another organization on Sunday. Byard, a former first-team All-Pro selection, was traded from the Tennessee Titans to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for safety Terrell Edmunds and two late-round picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Philadelphia Eagles released safety Kevin Byard on Friday, according to a source. The Eagles acquired Byard from the Tennessee Titans last October in exchange for a fifth- and sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft along with safety Terrell Edmunds.

The Philadelphia Eagles defense will face off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Philadelphia's secondary was shredded in Week 8 by Sam Howell, who threw for 397 yards and four touchdowns. Newly acquired safety Kevin Byard did not play a full allotment of snaps last week but will be heavily involved this weekend against Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense. Perhaps more shocking than Howell's performance in Week 8 was the lack of pressure on the quarterback from Philadelphia. They recorded ...

The Tennessee Titans defense just lost safety Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles via trade, but they still might have fantasy value in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta has the fourth-most turnovers (13) and Desmond Ridder has been sacked the fifth-most times (20) this season. Meanwhile, Tennessee has allowed the 11th-fewest points per game this season (19.5). All that said, the Titans' fantasy defense/special teams unit could be a solid streamer in Week 8 if fantasy managers are ...

The NFL's trade deadline is fast approaching, and that is finally starting to mean something. After a near century of stagnant deadline behavior from NFL teams, we are starting to see contenders make a mid-season push with trades. It's a refreshing change of pace, even if it often results in a waste of money and assets.The big mover so far this deadline was Kevin Byard, who leaves Tennessee for arguably the best defense in the NFL.

The 29-year-old Byard is a two-time Pro Bowler that has had over 100 combined tackles ...
