Jonathan Owens, Colts Reportedly Agree to Contract in NFL Free Agency After Bears Tenure

After spending the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears, Jonathan Owens is reportedly on the move.

Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the safety agreed to a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts on Friday.

Owens, 30, is coming off a season in which he recorded 19 tackles in 17 games.

After going undrafted out of Missouri Western in 2018, Owens began his career with the Arizona Cardinals, but missed the entirety of his rookie season because of a knee injury.

He joined the Houston Texans practice squad during the 2019 campaign and eventually earned a spot on the active roster. He signed a reserve/future contract with the team at the end of the season.

Owens was on and off of the Texans' practice squad in 2020, but he eventually became a regular contributor in 2021, recording 18 tackles and an interception in seven games. He appeared in all 17 games for Houston in 2022, logging a career-high 125 tackles and four passes defended.

Owens spent the 2023 campaign with the Green Bay Packers before joining their rival Bears in 2024 on a two-year deal.

His stint with Chicago is now over, and he'll look to become a key piece of the Colts' defense after a bit of a down year in 2025.
