Now the Bears have two quarterbacks on their roster after agreeing to terms with exclusive rights free agent Connor Shaw. In about a week, Jay Cutler could be gone which would leave Shaw as the Bears only rostered quarterback.
It won’t be for long as the Bears are rumored to be targeting Mike Glennon in free agency, are also considering former Bears Brain Hoyer and Matt Barkley as bridge options, and will probably draft a quarterback at some point.
Shaw is a promising backup option at least. The coaching staff is supposedly high on him and he did play well in limited preseason snaps last year (11/16, 127 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs) before suffering a broken leg.
