Kevin Byard finds a new NFL home after being cut by the Eagles

Kevin Byard finds a new NFL home after being cut by the Eagles

Photo by Steph Chambers/ Former Eagles safety Kevin Byard reportedly signed a two-year, $15 million contract with the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. Byard was released by Philadelphia earlier this month. That move felt like a no-brainer since it cleared $13 million in cap space and Byard wasn’t part of the solution for the Birds after they acquired him ahead of the 2023 NFL trade deadline. But the Bears apparently aren’t too worried about a Byard decline. They gave the 30-year-old a deal that ranks tied for 13th in terms of annual value at the safety position. Kinda...

Report: Chicago Bears are signing safety Kevin Byard to a 2-year deal

Report: Chicago Bears are signing safety Kevin Byard to a 2-year deal

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ The Chicago Bears have a new starting safety. According to a report from the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chicago Bears are signing safety Kevin Byard to a two-year deal worth $15 million. We'll update this article once the specifics of the contract are available. The 30-year-old Byard was recently let go by the Philadelphia Eagles in a cost-cutting decision. Last season, while splitting time between the Eagles (10 games) and Tennessee Titans (6 games), he had 122 tackles, one interception, three passes defended, and a fumble recovery....

Bengals reportedly gauging the safety market; Kevin Byard makes sense after being cut by Eagles

Bengals reportedly gauging the safety market; Kevin Byard makes sense after being cut by Eagles

Photo by Andy Lyons/ The Bengals need safety help, and a two-time All-Pro is on the market. It’s no secret that the safety position left a lot to be desired for the 2023 Cincinnati Bengals, which could lead to some firepower being added to the position this year. The NFL Draft doesn’t appear to have any clear instant-impact safeties this year, and there may not even be one taken in Round 1. Plus, it seems unlikely the Bengals would want to add another young guy to the secondary. What they need is a veteran who’s already been through his NFL growing pains, not...

Report: Eagles release Kevin Byard to clear cap space

Report: Eagles release Kevin Byard to clear cap space

Photo by Kevin Sabitus/ As expected. The Philadelphia Eagles are releasing veteran safety Kevin Byard, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter. This news comes as no surprise whatsoever. The Eagles are clearing over $13 million in cap space with this move while creating less than $1.4 million in dead money. The Eagles acquired Byard from the Tennessee Titans prior to the NFL trade deadline this past season when they shipped out a 2024 fifth-round pick, a 2024 sixth-round pick, and Terrell Edmunds. The trade obviously didn’t work out quite as well as the...
