Chicago is believed to be eyeing Caleb Williams
with the No. 1 pick in April's draft. The Bears are also
expected to trade Justin Fields, who started 38 games over the
past three years.
Rypien, 27, will likely compete with Tyson Bagent for the No. 2
job.
Rypien has made four NFL starts since entering the league as an
undrafted free agent in 2019 with the Denver Broncos. He has
passed for 950 yards, four touchdowns and nine interceptions in
10 games.
Last season, Rypien started for the Rams in a 20-3 loss to the
Green Bay Packers in Week 9. He was 13 of 28 for 130 yards and
one interception and was released two days later.
He had brief stints with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets
later in the season.
Rypien played college football at Boise State and holds the
Mountain West career passing yardage record of 13,578. He is the
nephew of Mark Rypien, who played 11 NFL seasons (1988-97, 2001)
for five teams and was MVP of Super Bowl XXVI for Washington.
