Bears waive QB Connor Shaw to make room for Victor Cruz

  • The Chicago Bears have waived QB Connor Shaw to make room for the signing of WR Victor Cruz. Shaw missed all of 2016 with a broken leg suffered in the preseason.
  • Shaw was impressive last preseason before going down in the Bears’ third game. Through the first four weeks of the preseason, Shaw recorded the fourth-highest QB grade in the league (min. 25 snaps).
  • Shaw ranked second only to Dak Prescott in PFF passer rating (which accounts for dropped passes, throw away, spikes, and yards in the air), with a rating of 119.
