[Kansas City.com] The Chiefs have agreed to contract terms with veteran safety Mike Brown. Brown, a nine-year veteran and a 2005 Pro Bowler with the Chicago Bears, could challenge either of the incumbents, Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page, for a starting job.
Durability might be Brown’s biggest issue. He missed 44 games over the past five seasons because of injuries. He played in 15 games last season but did not play in the season’s final game because of a calf injury.
Brown’s contract expired at the end of last season and the Bears made no effort to re-sign him.

All the comments I’ve seen from Bears fans say we got a good player here — as long as he stays healthy. I think it was a good pick up. We should have some good competition at safety.

Our secondary should be great this year. I expect great things from them provided we can get some pressure on the QB.

This could end up being our biggest impact player we pick up this offseason, depending on if he can grab at least 6 picks this season.
On the other hand he could get hurt and end up only playing 3 games for us this year.

I dont neccessarily think B.Pollard or J.Page need to worry about this guy stepping in and taking a starting spot, however when we use the 3-4 defense this year, we could use a similar set the cardinals ran. Which worked great with 3 safeties, 3 cornerbacks, 2 LB’s that seem to rake in the int’s.
it kinda looks like this, lol.

Our safety’s are good. But I do think that pollard is better at playing the run than the pass. Hopefully he adds some picks
