First and foremost here is the article from Rotoworld indicating he was let go by the bears.
The Bears have "decided to cut ties with" nine-year veteran FS Mike Brown.
This was expected, as GM Jerry Angelo said a month ago that he couldn't envision a scenario where Brown would return. Angelo is high on Danieal Manning, who is expected to be moved into Brown's starting role. With his injury history, Brown will likely have to accept a short-term, incentive-laden deal elsewhere.

After taking a look at his stats, he is not as much of a ballhawk as I expected- his number of INTs were lower than I thought. However, a lot of this has to do with the fact that he has been hampered by injuries. Because he has been so injury prone though, he would be affordable. As many of you know we don't have very much to spend and FS is a need position. So the fact that he has been so injury prone is a negative first and then a small positive, at least as far as potentionally signing him is concerned.
He is also 31 years old, so while he is getting up there in age, by no means is the guy no capable of being serviceable if he can stay on the field. So what do you guys think? Is he worth taking a flyer on, on a deal that is short term and incentive laden? I would imagine so. When healthy, which has not been frequent lately he has proven to be a pretty good FS.
