The Chicago Bears have a quarterback in Jay Cutler but their backup situation is a bit shaky at the moment. While they have Jordan Palmer there to back things up at the moment, it appears the Bears are shopping for as many options as they can and that has them looking at former Buccaneers and Vikings quarterback Josh Freeman.

According to virtually everyone who follows the NFL for a living, the Bears have worked out Freeman and may be working on a deal with him to bring him on as Cutler’s backup.

Josh Freeman and Jay Cutler would be an interesting coupling, methinks. Bears coach Marc Trestman is a QB guru, however

We had to put that three times otherwise Bears fans might not believe it. Although, while it’s easy to hate on Freeman, Marc Trestman may be able to work his magic on him and finally tap into the skills we saw only so briefly while Freeman was with the Buccaneers.
