The Green Bay Packers needed a safety after losing Adrian Amos to free agency this offseason. Packers fans reacted to the news of the player they brought in at that position on Friday. The Packers signed former Houston Texans safety Jonathan Owens.
Owens had to cut his wedding itinerary short with Olympic legend and champion Simone Biles in order to fly to Green Bay to sign his new contract. Owens is considered to be similar in style of play to Amos. Amos, a former team captain, will be hard to replace. But the 27-year-old Owens could wind up having a great career with the Packers.

Packers fans reacted to the news of Owens signing not long after he was signed.
Thanks to Simone's husband becoming a packer, I am officially the first person in history who is a bears fan & a packers fan https://t.co/08nULOx5p8

#Packers bring aboard Jonathan Owens, 5 year vet who started all 17 last year at safety for Texans. Looking less likely Adrian Amos returns.

Feels like he’s probably one of the starters at safety next season. Owens and Savage (or Douglas if they move him back there). https://t.co/gpxYpzI4oo
