LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Bears on Wednesday traded safety Kevin Payne to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for an undisclosed 2011 draft pick.
Payne appeared in 32 games with 22 starts in three seasons with the Bears, registering 195 tackles, four interceptions and 10 pass breakups.
Last year the 2007 fifth-round draft pick played in 13 games with five starts, recording 60 tackles, no interceptions and five pass breakups. Payne started the season opener in Green Bay at free safety and four of the final five games at strong safety.
Payne became expendable when the Bears reacquired veteran safety Chris Harris Tuesday in a trade with the Carolina Panthers.
Ironically, Payne was switched from running back to safety at Louisiana-Monroe in 2005 to replace Harris, who had been drafted by the Bears.
