The Bears expect to see Alex Brown at their minicamp this weekend even though Brown says he's seeking a trade. Brown told Sirius NFL Radio on Wednesday that he asked the Bears for permission to work out a trade. But Lovie Smith plans to have Brown at the three-day minicamp beginning Friday. "I just know we have a minicamp coming up this weekend and Alex has been working awful hard with our program," Smith said. "We'll see him there this weekend working out with us. So that's about all I can tell you right now." Brown admitted he's comfortable with the Bears, but is eager to explore other opportunities.
