BRIEF: Bears sign guard Vladimir Ducasse

March 17--The Chicago Bears added depth to their offensive line Monday by signing Vladimir Ducasse to a one-year contract.

Ducasse (6-foot-5, 325 pounds) has appared in 63 games and started a total of 11 for the New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings. Six were at left guard, four were at right guard, and one was as a sixth-eligible offensive lineman.

Ducasse (pronounced doo-CAAS) joins a Bears offensive line that required eight different starting combinations last season because of injuries and underperformance. Left guard Matt Slauson, the most seriously injured, had surgery in November to repair his torn right pectoral muscle.

The Jets drafted Ducasse in the second round (61st overall) in 2010. He was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
