The Chicago Bears quarterback position is starting to take shape for 2017, at least at the bottom of the depth chart. Free agent quarterback Connor Shaw announced on Twitter Saturday that he signed a new contract with the team, joining Jay Cutler as the only quarterback under contract.

Shaw was set to be an exclusive rights free agent, which is essentially just an even more restricted free agent. The terms of this agreement have not been released yet, but this contract is likely only the one-year tender that ERFAs typically receive.

The 25-year-old quarterback showed a lot of promise this past preseason before suffering a gruesome leg injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Given the Bears’ quarterback issues last season, he might have seen the field during the regular season had he stayed healthy, and the team evidently wants him back to see what he can still do.

His youth and promise won’t impact any quarterback decisions the Bears make this offseason, but at the very least, he is an intriguing backup option who could build off of his 2016 preseason and work his way into a spot on the 53-man roster this season.
