On Saturday, the Chicago Bears announced that the franchise had come to terms with free agent cornerback Marcus Cooper on a new three-year contract. The veteran joins the Bears after a single season with the Arizona Cardinals, and joins safety Quintin Demps as newly signed players who used to suit up for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Cooper started his NFL career with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent and spent three seasons in K.C., playing in 38 games and making 11 starts in that stint. Cooper made an early impact in the secondary with 3 interceptions in his first season, but his play slipped over time and he slowly faded on the depth chart.
