The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran safety Mike Brown, Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star is reporting.
Brown was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second-round pick of the 2000 NFL Draft and spent his first 8 years with the Bears, who opted not to re-sign him when his contract expired in February.
Despite a penchant for making the big play, Brown's inability to stay healthy was behind the Bears' decision to not re-sign him. Over the last five seasons, Brown has never appeared in 16 games, missing nearly all of the 2004 and 2007 seasons due to injuries.
His top season came during the Bears' 13-3 season in 2001, where Brown had 67 tackles, 3 quarterbacks and 5 interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns. For his career, the 31-year old Brown has 5 quarterback sacks, 17 interceptions and four touchdowns.
Brown provides depth behind starters Jarrad Page and Bernard Pollard. Terms were not disclosed, but Brown has likely signed for the veteran minimum. ($745K)
