Safety Jonathan Owens is joining the Packers.

Owens’ move to Green Bay was announced via pictures of him signing his contract that were shared on social media by Owens and his new wife Simone Biles. Owens married the Olympic gold medalist less than a month ago.

Owens was undrafted out of Missouri Western in 2018 and signed with the Cardinals. He spent the year on injured reserve and then moved on to the Texans in 2019. Owens played 14 games through 2021 and then started all 17 games for Houston last season.

Owens had 125 tackles, a sack, and four passes defensed in those 2022 appearances.

The Packers also have Darnell Savage, Rudy Ford, Tarvarius Moore, Dallin Leavitt, and seventh-round pick Anthony Johnson at safety.

  1. They could maybe give Simone a chance too. She could vault over the pile at the goal line like few others.

  2. Don’t sleep on Rudy Ford… I think, now that he has his shot, he’s going to turn into a great Safety. Last year, his motor never stopped. He was like a mini Clay Matthews out there. This kid might be okay too if he takes advantage of this opportunity and works his butt off.

  3. Rudy Ford isn’t starting safety material, good on special teams but a liability on defense.

  4. Sounds like this guy might be past the detours along the way and is full-stride ready to contribute.

    ============

    Savage – 1 int, 5 passes defended (played 84% of the snaps on D)

    Ford while Savage was benched – 2 int, 2 passes defended

    He was a noticeable upgrade over Savage.
