It didn’t take Brandon Meriweather long to find a new team.

Less than 24 hours after the Patriots released Meriweather, he has signed with the Bears.

The Bears announced that they’ve signed the safety to a one-year contract. No word yet on how much he’ll be paid.

Meriweather played in all 16 games for the Patriots last year, starting 13, and he’s been chosen to the Pro Bowl each of the last two seasons.
