Bears sign Pro Bowl guard Brown, ex-49er DL Adams

Associated Press

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears agreed to terms with Pro Bowl left guard Ruben Brown on a one-year deal today.

The team also agreed to terms on a four-year contract with former San Francisco defensive tackle Anthony Adams.

Brown made his ninth Pro Bowl appearance and first as a member of the Bears last season. He was an eight-time selection with the Buffalo Bills between 1995 and 2003 before signing with Chicago in April 2004.

Adams was a second-round draft pick in 2003 and has started 34 games in four seasons with the 49ers, where he struggled last season to fit into a 3-4 scheme. The Penn State product had 155 tackles, including six sacks in 58 games.
