The Chicago Bears on Thursday announced that the club has signed defensive back Coby Bryant to a three-year deal, linebacker Devin Bush to a three-year deal, defensive lineman Neville Gallimore to a two-year deal and wide receiver Kalif Raymond to a one-year deal.
Bryant joins Chicago after spending the last four seasons as a member of the Seattle Seahawks (2022-25), helping lead Seattle to a World Championship with a victory in Super Bowl LX. Bryant started 15 regular-season games for Seattle in 2025, as well as all three postseason outings for the Seahawks, securing a career-high four interceptions. Since entering the league as a fourth-round selection (109th overall) by Seattle in the 2022 NFL Draft, Bryant has amassed 218 tackles (148 solo), 17 passes defensed, seven interceptions, nine tackles for loss, including two sacks, and seven forced fumbles. Bryant's seven career forced fumbles are tied for the fourth-most by any DB in the NFL over the last four seasons, as his seven passes defensed, including four interceptions, in 2025 marked single-season career-bests.
