Connor Shaw agreed to terms with the Chicago Bears on a one-year, $465,000 contract that includes an average yearly pay of $465,000. The deal also includes a $50,000 signing bonus and $100,000 in guaranteed money. Shaw came into the NFL as a third-string quarterback from South Carolina but was able to beat out Scott Tolzien for the job during training camp. He appeared in six games for the Bears this past season and completed 18 of his 27 passes for 242 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He will be 25 years old when the new league year starts on March 14. According to ESPN, Shaw made $495,000 in 2015. With a cap hit of $465,000, he will have approximately $30,000 left over after paying his own salary. The Bears signed him to a one-year deal so they could have some insurance if Jay Cutler gets injured. If Shaw is still on the roster at the end of the season then he would have to decide whether or not to accept a pay cut in order to remain with the team.
