The possibility exists the Bears will see Mike Brown not once this season but twice.

That does not mean Brown is headed to an NFC North rival. Bill Williamson at ESPN.com reports that the ex-Bear is making a free-agent visit to Cleveland a week after he made his first known trip to Kansas City. The Bears host Cleveland in the preseason finale and again in the regular season.

Brown, 31, plans to continue his career this season and interest is just now growing for him. The Chiefs took a look at him and the timing looked right for a signing there as they had their mandatory veteran minicamp over the weekend, but he went unsigned. Brown could join ex-Bear John St. Clair with the Browns and new coach Eric Mangini.

Throughout his career with the Bears, Brown was known as the unquestioned leader of the defense. It was after the 2005 loss at Cleveland that Brown assessed the team's 1-3 start and said "we suck." The team then embarked on an eight-game winning streak.

Mangini likes competition (as evidenced by his numerous signings of LB and CB. Why not at the safety position too? Brown is a good player when he is healthy. It'd be nice to have him - he'd be a legitimate replacement to Sean Jones.

Mike Brown is pretty good. Of course, injuries have been a major problem with him. Anyways, i've always liked him since he played for my favorite college team.

Brown is a beast. If he can stay healthy, he would be a difference maker for any team he goes to. And the boy can hit
