Plot thickens at cornerback after Bears sign Marcus Cooper

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears continue to work on the cornerback position, signing former Arizona Cardinal Marcus Cooper on Saturday.

Cooper, 27, had a breakout year in 2016, setting career-highs in games played (15), games started (13), tackles (69) and interceptions (four).

Terms: Three years.

ESPN 150 Ranking: 98

Grade: Likely in the B range. Cooper has excellent size (6-foot-2, 192 pounds) for the 3-4 defense. Coordinator Vic Fangio wants cornerbacks with long arms who can disrupt routes in the first 5 yards.
