Someone has to throw the ball to Vic Hall

The Bergen Record first reported, and the
Chicago Tribune has confirmed, that the Bears will sign quarterback Mike Teel. This will be the third team he has played for in two months. The former Seahawk and Patriot will be the fourth quarterback on the roster.
Training camp is long; they run a lot of plays during weeks of two-a-days; someone has to throw the ball to Vic Hall, Antonio Robinson, Eric Peterman and Freddie Barnes while the real quarterbacks are running the offense.
Apparently, there's also a connection between Teel and former Seahawks general manager, current Bears personnel director, Tim Ruskell.
Per Brad Biggs:
"The move has the fingerprints of new personnel director Tim Ruskell on
it. Ruskell was the general manager in Seattle when the Seahawks
drafted Teel in the sixth round in 2009. Teel spent last season on the
Seahawks' roster as the third quarterback but did not play."
I tell you, that Dan Pompei is a football savant.
He told us that Ruskell was going to blow our minds with his experience and knowledge. I guess, I never though it would happen so quickly.
