Mike Brown was drafted out of Nebraska in the second round of the 2000 draft by the Chicago Bears. Since then, he's been in Chicago, mixing in solid safety play with lots of injury issues. One thing no one would dispute: When he's on the field, Mike Brown is a very good NFL player. Earlier this offseason, the Bears cut ties with Brown --his contract had expired and they decided not to re-up -- after exactly 100 games of service. According to a report from KansasCity.com, the Chiefs have decided to sign the safety. He'll likely compete with Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page for a shot to start in the Kansas City secondary. At the very least, he adds plenty of depth and experience.
Brown is the Bears' all-time leader in defensive touchdowns with 7. You might recall his back-to-back game-winning overtime touchdowns in 2001 against the 49ers and Browns. He always seems to find a way to make plays when he's on the field. Another relatively famous touchdown was a fumble recovery where he basically walked into the end zone in Arizona in 2006. That was the Bears first of three non-offensive touchdowns, leading them to an improbable victory over the Cardinals and setting off the (NSFW) world-famous Dennis Green tirade.
Since 2003, Brown has had trouble staying on the field, and has only started 36 of a possible 80 games. The thing about Brown was, the injuries were never the nagging sort. He seemed to simply have bad luck in suffering freak, serious injuries for a while -- like a season-ending torn ACL in Week 1 of 2007, which occurred when he was held in the backfield. He did manage to play 15 games for the Bears last season, when he accrued 2 interceptions and 57 tackles.
The Chiefs can expect a solid locker-room voice, on-field leadership and hard hits from Brown. Unfortunately, they can't completely count on a full season of health from the banged up 31-year-old. Still, it's a good signing for a somewhat young defense that is looking to turn the corner sooner rather than later. The Chiefs now have three good veteran leaders with playoff pedigree -- Brown, Mike Vrabel and Zach Thomas -- to help bring along the youngsters.
