Rod Hood was released Monday by the Cleveland Browns, and he expects to sign a contract with the Bears on Tuesday, a little more than three months after the team hosted him for a free-agent visit. "I like the Bears, I like coach Lovie [Smith] and I like all the coaches," Hood said. "I had a good experience when I was there, and I don't need to know why I didn't sign there the first time because I had a good feel for everything about them. I'm just glad they were still interested in me." Hood can provide insurance for starting cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Zack Bowman.
