The Chicago Bears continue to shore up their lineup,signing safety Coby Bryant to a three-year, $40 million deal. The Bears overhauled their safety unit this offseason with Kevin Byard off to the New England Patriots.
The unit also saw Jaquan Brisker leave for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Nashton Wright to the New York Jets and Jonathan Owens to the Indiana Colts. Owens arguably had the noisiest transfer as fans had mixed reactions to his wife, bemedalled Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.
The 2026 season hasn’t started yet, but Bryant is already marking one game, and that is against his former team, the Seattle Seahawks. At the “Up & Adams” show, Bryant told Kay Adams, “We actually play Seattle this year, in Seattle, so they better be ready for me, for sure.”
The Seahawks drafted Bryant in 2022 as the 109th overall. He stayed in Seattle for four seasons.

Chicago Bears: Coby Bryant not a fan of the deep-dish pizza
In the same show, the 26-year-old Bryant admitted he has a lot to learn about the windy city. He said he was only in Chicago two years ago when the Seahawks played against the Bears.
“I only been like two years ago, yeah I’ve been two years ago,” he said. “We played Chicago, and all I hear is the deep-dish pizza, not really a big of a fan of that. They might get on me about that, but I had to try the better deep dish pizza.”
One of the staples of Chicago is deep-dish pizza. It has a thick, pie-like crust with layers of cheese, toppings, and chunky tomato sauce.
Bryant’s first taste of the deep-dish pizza made him a non-fan of the popular Chicago dish.
“To be fair, it was after we played the Bears, so I don’t remember the name,” Bryant said. “It was kinda cold, a little bit too soft.”
The new Bears recruit, though, is willing to give it another try. “I can’t really go off that, so I might have to retry it.”
