SO SAD: Bears safety Jonathan Owens may never Play again at Soldier Field because Matt Eberflus does not value him and explains his decision.
In terrible news for Chicago Bears fans, safety Jonathan Owens may have played his final game at Soldier Field after head coach Matt Eberflus stated that he no longer recognizes Owens’ services to the team.
Owens, who signed with the Bears in free agency last summer, was largely considered as a talented young player with the ability to contribute significantly to the team’s defense.
However, Eberflus’ recent comments about Owens have caused a stir among Bears fans, with many expressing disappointment and frustration over the coach’s apparent lack of faith in the safety.
“Jonathan Owens is a hardworking player, but we’re not sure he’s the right fit for our team right now,” Eberflus said in a statement. “We’re going to explore other options at the safety position.”
The news has led many to speculate about Owens’ future with the Bears, with some suggesting that he may be traded or released in the coming weeks.
Owens’ likely departure from the Bears would be a significant loss for the squad, as he was seen as a talented young player with the ability to significantly improve the defense.
The former undrafted free agent had worked his way up the Bears’ depth chart to become a starter, and his talent and versatility had garnered him acclaim from both coaches and teammates. “Owens is a talented player who has earned a spot on this team,” Bears linebacker Roquan Smith stated. “It would be a real shame if he’s not here next season.”
As the Bears search for other options at the safety position, they may need to turn to free agency or the draft to fill the void left by Owens’ absence.
Some experts have suggested that the team could target a veteran safety like Marcus Williams or Jessie Bates III, while others believe that the Bears may look to add a promising young player like Jordan Poyer or Malik Hooker through free agency.
“The Bears are going to have to find a way to replace Owens if they want to keep their defense strong,” said one NFL analyst.
