Simone Biles Cheers on Husband Jonathan Owens’ Move to Chicago Bears in Twitter Celebration
As former Green Bay Packers defensive back Jonathan Owens secures a deal with the Chicago Bears, all eyes turn to his biggest supporter, gymnastics icon Simone Biles, who took to Twitter to share her excitement during his free agency announcement on Tuesday.
Amid swirling reports of Owens’ move to the Bears, Biles graciously bid farewell to Packers fans who cheered for her husband during his tenure with the team. She then eagerly anticipated their new chapter in Chicago, highlighting the city’s renowned cuisine and convenient travel options from O’Hare International Airport.
Owens arrives in Chicago following a commendable season with the Packers, showcasing his talents in all 17 games and securing notable defensive stats, including 84 total tackles, three passes defended, and a sack, among others. Despite his solid performance, Pro Football Focus ranked him 73rd out of 95 NFL safeties last season.
His journey from being undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft to emerging as a key player after battling through injuries and practice squad stints with the Houston Texans reflects a remarkable achievement, one that Biles proudly acknowledges.
Reportedly, Owens’ contract with the Bears spans two years and is valued at $4.5 million.
While Owens gears up for his new football endeavor, Biles remains focused on her own athletic pursuits, gearing up for the 2024 Olympics in Paris. After overcoming challenges in Tokyo, she has returned to the floor with unwavering determination, securing victories since her comeback in 2023.
