The Bear's Den: Friday, January 12a*, 2017 - Re-sign Connor Shaw?

The Den will be taking a look at one of the Chicago Bears' 2017 unrestricted free agents (UFA's) and restricted free agents (RFA's) each day until we have knocked out the list.

I will be talking about the player, whether I personally would sign the player and to what contract, and what my best guess the Bears will do with him.

Today we look at what may be the easiest, most non-controversial "should we re-sign" question of all, RFA Connor Shaw.

Let's review what a RFA is, exactly. Wikipedia's RFA entry puts it this way: "In the National Football League, a restricted free agent (RFA) is one with three accrued seasons (six or more regular season games with a team)[1] of service, who has received a "qualifying" offer (a salary level predetermined by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and its players, known as a "tender") from his current club.
