Brett Rypien: Released by Chicago
Brett Rypien was released by the Bears on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.The 28-year-old Rypien spent 2023 with the Rams, Seahawks and Jets before declaring free agency in March. He then signed with the Bears but was unable to beat out Tyson Bagent for QB2 duties behind No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams. Rypien went 24 of 34 passing (70.6 percent) for 335 yards and three touchdowns this preseason. It was a strong enough showing to possibly get Rypien a look elsewhere as a top backup.

Bears' Brett Rypien: Stellar showing in preseason opener
Brett Rypien completed 11 of 15 passes for 166 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Chicago Bears' 21-17 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday. He added one rush for nine yards.Rypien took over on the Bears' second possession and was masterful during his time in the game, averaging 11.1 yards per attempt while connecting with Collin Johnson (20, nine yards) and Tommy Sweeney (22 yards) for his trio of touchdown tosses. The journeyman signal-caller joined Chicago when free agency opened, and although he's generally been perceived as the No. 3 quarterback, Thursday's showing suggests he could conceivably usurp Tyson Bagent for the No. 2 job if he can put together an impressive enough body of work this preseason.
