Chiefs pick up veteran safety Mike Brown - Kansas City Star

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.

Brown, 31, quickly established himself as one of the league’s top safeties after being drafted by the Bears in the second round in 2000. He is Chicago’s all-time leader in defensive touchdowns with seven.

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.

Yeah, he played FS in Chicago. Someone posted that Gretz posted that someone told him that Brown would be brought in to replace Pollard, not Page. That's pretty third hand, but it was at least rumored.

Yeah, that was me. Bob said that if Mike Brown would have left Arrowhead with a contract that Pollard would probably be looking for his way out of town too. I dont agree with it, but thats just what I read

Way to stay positive.

Week 3. Hows that for positivity

Because Marvin Harrison is a professional in every sense of the word. Do not let his age fool you, this man can play ball, and play it well. Marvin Harrison on our team would mean more open time for our other receivers, and that has to be a good thing. I see nothing wrong with signing Marvin Harrison to a one year deal, Whos With ME?

When you say "Professional." Do you mean, Professional smooth gangsta that runs 3 city blocks that were all bought out by him and sits in front of his cafe like Tony Soprano. Is that what you meant?

Someone posted his injury record for the last five or so seasons, pretty much all of them involved a season ending injury and major surgery

Thats right. Gecho car cleaned at Marvelous Marvs' Sud'N'Bullets Car Wash in S. Philly. Drive in for a bumper-to-bumper shine, ride out with your cruzer shot full of holes.

I'm not saying Brown hasn't been injury prone, but it seems as if some people want him to get hurt so they can say "I told you so". He's a very good player, we need him for the entire season.

Correct. We need Brown to help us. And I have no doubt he will.

Can't say I am too happy, he is injury prone. But we will see.

That was me. I posted the annual breakdown in our last Mike Brown thread. He finished on IR every year since 2003! On the other hand, I also talked about how Mike Brown was one of the best safties of his generation. He is nothing short of amazing. In all fairness, Mike made it to week 16 last year, before sustaining his annual season ending injury. Who knows what he's got left in the tank.

NOTE: I have a close friend who writes for the newspaper (sports section) at CU of Denver. He is about as good as it gets. I've work with him for the past 3 years in March for the annual mock draft release in April. This was his response after I texted him about the Mike Brown signing: "Who knows how many games Mike will last. My bet is 3 to 4. The guy plays way too hard to last an entire season. He plays every game like its the Super Bowl."

Its soo true guys. Its awsome, but unfortunatly it gets him killed. If you look up his injuries, they are during 80 yard interception returns or trying to decapitate Lorenzo Neal. I dont know how long he will last, but while he's out there, it sure will be fun!
