Christian failed to record a tackle in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 12 tackles and one pass defensed.
EDGE Analysis
Christian was primarily used on special teams, though he did have a pair of games in which he saw at least 30 snaps. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though he'll likely latch on as a special teamer and defensive depth option.

The Jets released Christian on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Christian played in just one game since being signed by the Jets in late September. The 2016 fifth-round pick enjoyed a more consistent role with the Rams over the previous two seasons, so he could add depth at safety with another franchise.

Christian signed with the Jets on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
New York has been eyeing Christian for a while, as the Jets actually had a deal in place with the safety in the offseason but never completed the signing. Christian ended up in Chicago, where he served a two-game suspension and was released before ever suiting up for the Bears. He's expected to serve in a reserve safety role and play on special teams for the Jets.

Christian was waived by the Bears on Monday after serving his two-game suspension, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christian was a rotational option for the Rams last season and was hoping to earn a similar role with the Bears. However, they have opted to go in another direction.

Christian was issued a two-game suspension Saturday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christian is on the reserve/suspended list, so he won't count against the Bears' 53-man roster. The 25-year-old safety wasn't expected to handle a starter's workload in his fifth NFL season, but he was a solid rotational option for the Rams last year, averaging 23.4 defensive snaps per game and recording 36 total tackles. He'll be eligible to return in Week 3 versus the Falcons.

Christian (suspension) agreed to a contract with the Bears on Wednesday, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
If Christian makes the squad out of training camp, he'll be forced to sit out the first two games of the season. The 25-year-old suited up in all 16 games for the Rams in 2019, supplying 36 tackles and two pass breakups.

The Jets' previously reported deal with Christian has fallen through, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the the report, though it looked like the safety was poised to sign a one-year, $2 million deal with the Jets, the two sides were unable to finalize Christian's contract terms. The 25-year-old, who recorded 36 tackles in 16 games for the Rams last season, thus returns to the free-agent market.

Christian signed a one-year contract with the Jets on Saturday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Christian appeared in all 32 games over the past two years with the Rams and recorded 36 tackles in both seasons. The 25-year-old should work on special teams and as a reserve safety for the Jets.

Christian recorded 36 tackles and two pass breakups over 16 games in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
Christian's playing time on defense was sporadic, but he logged a 40-percent snap share or higher on six different occasions. The fourth-year safety will be an unrestricted free agent in March. If he sticks with the Rams, he likely won't have many chances to climb the depth chart if Eric Weddle (shoulder/knee) returns in 2020.
