The Bears finally made a move at quarterback.

No, not that one.

The team agreed to sign quarterback Brett Rypien, who has played under center for the Jets, Seahawks, Rams and Broncos. The Seattle stop last year is notable, as the Bears are installing an offense designed by their new offensive coordinator — and former Seahawks play-caller — Shane Waldron. Rypien was on the Seahawks’ practice squad.

He started four games and appeared in six more in the NFL.
