The 26-year-old Bryant — named after the Los Angeles Lakers
great — was a key part of a defense that allowed the fewest
points in the NFL and helped Seattle win its second Super Bowl
championship last season. He had four interceptions after
recording three in 2024 and seven passes defensed in 15 games.
He missed the final two regular-season games because of a knee
injury and returned in the playoffs.
Bush, 27, set career highs last season with 125 tackles and
three interceptions, returning two for touchdowns. Drafted by
Pittsburgh with the No. 10 overall pick in 2019, he has five
interceptions and seven sacks in seven seasons with the
Steelers, Seattle and the Browns.
Chicago went 11-6 last season and won its first division title
since 2018. The Bears advanced in the playoffs for the first
time in 15 years, rallying to beat Green Bay in a wild-card
thriller before losing to the Los Angeles Rams in overtime in
the divisional round. ___
