Quintin Demps leaving Texans for three-year deal with Bears

It was a breakthrough season for Texans veteran strong safety Quintin Demps punctuated by a career-high six interceptions.

Demps adeptly and alertly disrupted passing lanes, finishing first among all NFL safeties in interceptions and ranking second overall in the league.

Now, Demps is joining the Chicago Bears on a three-year contract that averages $4.5 million annually, according to his representatives.

After the 31-year-old played last season under a one-year, $1.5 million contract, the San Antonio native hoped for long-term security. He's played on one-year deals each of the past five seasons, including his stints with the Texans, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants.
