It’s a sad day for a Chicago Bear fan.
Former Pro Bowl safety and star of the Bears defense Mike Brown signed a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Bears showed no interest in bringing back the injury prone Mike Brown.
Brown is the Bears’ all-time leader in defensive touchdowns with seven.
Brown had 99 starts, 629 tackles, and 17 interceptions in his nine seasons with the Bears.
Last season he started 15 games last season the most he’s played in a long time before going on the injured reserve with a calf injury.
What will his role be with the Chiefs?
The nine year veteran will join the Chiefs facing some competition at the safety position.
Bernard Pollard and Jarrad Page are the two Kansas City Cheifs safeties and Mike Brown will have to work hard to beat one of them out.
I know Brown, 31, has lost a step, but he is still a very good player.
He can win the job as long as he stays healthy.
I wish him nothing but luck this season.
I still think Bears fans wanted to see him back this season, but I’m glad to see Kansas City make this move.

This is a good move, not signing Brown.
Although this is going to kill the What Game will Mike Brown go on the IR pool.

Thanks for the comment Frank, I thought the Bears should have brought Brown back as a coach, he is a real leader and he could have done some good for this young and inexperienced secondary. But, I’m glad to see someone decided to pick him up, as long as he still has some stuff left in him. I wish him the best of luck

I agree. I hate to see Mike go but his leadership, work ethic and skills will be a real asset to KC. I’m glad he didn’t go to Green Bay ala Steve McMichael. If this turns out to be Brownie’s last year, the Bears would be well advised to bring him in as a coach. If he can teach as well as he can lead and play the Bears secondary would really benefit.

I totally agree thanks goodness he didn’t go to a divisional rival and he’ll have a solid year. Maybe when he is all done he’ll come back as a coach. who knows
