The Bears have signed free agent quarterback Trevor Siemian to a two-year deal Friday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The deal is reportedly worth $4 million with Siemian potentially earning an additional $1 million, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added. With Andy Dalton leaving Chicago as a free agent, the Bears were in the market for a backup quarterback to first-round pick Justin Fields.
Siemian arrives from the Saints after spending a season-and-a-half in New Orleans. He started six games last season after Jameis Winston sustained a season-ending injury and Taysom Hill was also sidelined by injury.
