Bears sign rookie CB, DeAngelo Smith, on Waivers
The Bears will be DeAngelo Smith's third team in his rookie season
After being waived this season already by the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys, first year defensive back DeAngelo Smith has signed with the Chicago Bears on waivers. The Bears, themselves, waived injured cornerback Trumaine McBride to make room for Smith (who was drafted in the 5th round this year by the Cowboys).
Who is DeAngelo Smith? He was three year player at the University of Cincinatti. He had a breakout season his junior year in college when he led the nation in interceptions with eight picks. His senior year he only had two interceptions, but helped the Bearcats to their first Big East Championship.
How will he help? Who knows? It's not good that the Bears's answer to a problem is to pick up a guy that has already been waived by two teams. That said, after Nathan Vasher's performance last Sunday against the Packers, GM Jerry Angelo needed to do something about the secondary.
