The Chicago Bears are signing free-agent safety Kevin Byard to a two-year contract, a source told Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.
Byard's contract is worth $15 million, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Philadelphia Eagles released the defensive back on March 1 after acquiring him in a midseason trade with the Tennessee Titans last October.
Byard began his career with the Titans as a 2016 third-round pick, and quickly established himself as one of the NFL's premier ballhawks.
He spent seven-and-a-half seasons in Tennessee, racking up 27 interceptions - including an NFL-high eight picks in 2017 - and earning two first-team All-Pro nominations.
Byard will fill the void at the back of the Bears' defense created by longtime starter Eddie Jackson's release.
