Free agent safety Deon Bush, a valuable back-up who started 13 games in six seasons with the Bears — including four last year — has signed a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, ESPN has reported.
Bush, 27, was a fourth-round draft pick out of Miami (Fla.) by previous general manager Ryan Pace in 2016. He never won a starting job but played a key role as a replacement — for injured starter Eddie Jackson in 2018 (including the playoff game against the Eagles) and injured starter Tashaun Gipson last season. He also was in a rotation at safety when he wasn’t starting — leading to a career-high 377 snaps on defense (44%) in 2021.
