Bears sign safety Adrian Wilson

CHICAGO -- The Bears signed five-time Pro Bowl safety Adrian Wilson to a one-year deal, the team announced Monday.

Wilson spent 12 seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, for whom he started 162 games and recorded 885 tackles, 27 interceptions, 25½ sacks, 99 pass breakups and 15 forced fumbles.

He is one of 13 players to register 20 or more interceptions and 20 or more sacks in their career since sacks became an official statistic in 1982.

Arizona released Wilson on March 8, 2013, and the safety eventually signed a three-year contract with the New England Patriots. However, Wilson suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last summer and failed to play in a regular-season game in 2013. The Patriots released Wilson in April.

Don't know how much he has left in the tank but one of my favorite DBs of all-time. I'll always remember the game he pretty much single-handedly defeated the Cowboys back in '02.
