The Facts: The Bears announced Saturday that they have Shaw and long snapper Patrick Scales to new one-year contracts.

Diehards Line: Shaw was claimed via waivers last summer and then was hurt in the preseason. He broke into the league with the Browns in 2014 and made his only career start and appearance for the Browns in the 2014 season finale. The Bears are expected to move on from starting quarterback Jay Cutler, and Shaw will likely be given a chance to compete for the team’s backup job.
