The Chicago Bears released a quarterback
The Chicago Bears are making changes to the quarterback room ahead of the 2023 season. The Bears signed quarterback PJ Walker Wednesday as Justin Fields’ likely backup quarterback. News broke Thursday afternoon the Bears were cutting a quarterback from last season while he still had time left on his contract.
According to Mike Garafolo with the NFL Network, the Bears released Trevor Siemian Thursday.
Siemian signed a two-year deal with the Bears in March of 2022. He started in one game for the Bears last season. Siemian threw for 184 yards, one touchdown and one interception this season. Siemian’s short stint with the Bears will be remembered for when he was injured in warm-ups against the New York Jets. He wound up playing the game but was placed on injured reserve after the game for an oblique injury that Siemian needed surgery to repair. That about summed up the Bears’ 2022 season.
