Mike McCarthy and the Pittsburgh Steelers are adding someone else familiar with Western Pennsylvania, as Mike Garafolo reported they agreed to terms with safety Jaquan Brisker on Thursday.

Brisker, who turns 27 next month, spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Chicago Bears, starting all 52 games he played for them. He racked up four interceptions and 342 total tackles during that span.
