The Bears will sign veteran safety Kevin Byard to a two-year, $15 million deal, a source said. He likely will replace longtime starter Eddie Jackson, whom the team released this offseason.
Byard, 30, has been a starting safety for eight seasons and spent last season with the Titans and Eagles. He's a two-time All-Pro and Pro Bowl selection.
The Bears will be looking for a new starting safety going into next season to line up opposite Jaquan Brisker.
