Trevor Siemian was attracted by the Bears franchise's clear vision for future
The Bears and QB Trevor Siemian agreed to terms on a two-year deal a few weeks ago. At the time, I really liked the addition, and I still think he can be a very solid pickup for the Bears.
Siemian is a former 7th round pick by the Denver Broncos. He surprised everyone and gained the starting job as soon as in his second year. He played 3 seasons in Denver and he was a pretty solid quarterback.
He signed with the New Orleans Saints last season. He played in 6 games and started 4 of them. Although he didn't win a game, he played actually great. In those 4 starts, he has 1154 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.

Since joining the NFL in 2015 as a seventh-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos, he's been part of a Super Bowl-winning team, he's started 29 games and been a teammate/backup of two all-time-greats QBs in Peyton Manning and Drew Brees.
He said that these experiences teach him a lot:
