The Bears met with Mark Sanchez on Thursday and are expected to sign the free agent quarterback, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Sanchez began last season in Dallas, first backing up Tony Romo and later eventual Rookie of the Year Dak Prescott. He appeared in two games, completing 10 of 18 passes for 93 yards and a pair of interceptions. Prior to that Sanchez spent two seasons in Philadelphia, starting 10 games.
The Bears are in the process of retooling their quarterback position after releasing Jay Cutler in March. Free agents Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley both signed with the 49ers, leaving the cupboard bare. Mike Glennon will begin the season as the starter after signing a three-year deal earlier this month.
The Bears hold the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and could select one of North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky, Clemson's Deshaun Watson or Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer with the pick.
