While the Bears’ quarterback room is going to look different this season, it appears there will be at least two familiar faces.
Third-string quarterback Tyler Bray has re-signed with the Bears, according to Field Yates, where he’ll sit behind Mitchell Trubisky and newcomer Nick Foles, who will both be vying for the starting job in 2020.
Bray has been with the Bears since 2018, when he was brought in to serve as a mentor for Trubisky and to serve on Chicago’s practice squad. Bray has played under Nagy during his two seasons with the Bears, as well as with the Chiefs in 2014 and 2017.
Under the new collective bargaining rules, Bray is once again a candidate for the Bears practice squad, where there’s no limit on the number of years that a player is eligible for the practice squad.
Bray’s re-signing doesn’t necessarily rule out Chicago targeting a quarterback in this year’s draft. Considering the continued struggles at the quarterback position, general manager Ryan Pace needs to at least target a developmental prospect in the draft.
