TL;DR Summary

The Chicago Bears have signed P.J. Walker to a two-year deal as a backup quarterback behind starter Justin Fields. Walker's experience with new receiver D.J. Moore, who was acquired from the Panthers in a trade, could be an important factor. The Bears valued Siemian and Peterman because of their experience in similar offensive schemes, but Walker is a younger backup option than the 31-year-old Siemian. With Walker added, drafting a quarterback late on Day 3 seems unlikely.
