The Chicago Bears made a move to beef up their secondary this off-season.
According to the team website, the Bears signed safety Adrian Wilson to a one year deal on Monday. The five time Pro Bowler played 12 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals where he amassed 885 tackles, 27 interceptions, 25½ sacks, 99 pass breakups and 15 forced fumbles in 162 games.
Wilson was released by the Cardinals in March 2013 and was signed to a three year contract by the Patriots. Wilson would never play a regular season game for the Patriots though, as he would suffer a season ending Achilles injury during the summer. The Patriots released him this April.
Signing Wilson was a good move for the Bears after Major Wright left via free agency. The Bears also signed Ryan Mundy and drafted Brock Vereen for the safety position. Each will be given the opportunity to compete for the starting job.
