Owens is likely to be Chicago's second-string free safety behind Kevin Byard after both players were signed to a contract in March.
After the Bears signed Byard to a two-year, $15 million contract, it seems likely that Owens will back up Byard at free safety. Should Owens move into a regular role at some point, he could have significant IDP value after averaging 105 tackles over the past two seasons.
