With May about to bleed into June, it's that time of the NFL offseason calendar when even backup quarterbacks become headlines.
Coming off Memorial Day Weekend, several backup QBs are hitting the free-agent pool.
The Chicago Bears waive quarterback Connor Shaw on Tuesday to make room for Victor Cruz. With Mitchell Trubisky and Mike Glennon requiring as many snaps as possible, the Bears didn't need a fourth quarterback behind veteran Mark Sanchez.
Shaw missed the entire 2016 season after suffering a broken leg in the third game of the preseason.
