Bears Taking Long Look At Free Agent QB Chris Simms?

The Redskins were also reportedly interested in signing Chris Simms to a backup role, Simms has been on the Bears radar in the past and could be again. Bears general manager Jerry Angelo gambled by not signing a veteran backup for Jay Cutler last season and may opt to bring in a veteran like Simms rather than rely on the inexperienced Caleb Hanie and ex-Northwestern signal caller Brett Basanez, especially given what is at stake in 2010. The Broncos cut Simms after acquiring former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn from the Browns. Simms, 29, played in three games last season, including one start.

I wouldn't be in love with this move but I would be in favor of it. It would be better than having two guys behind Cutler who have a combined total of zero starts.
