David Fales is signing with the Dolphins, a source confirmed Wednesday.

The former Bears quarterback will reunite with Adam Gase, the Bears’ offensive coordinator in 2015 who runs a scheme similar to the Bears.

Fales appeared in his first NFL game in the last Bears game of the season, completing 2-of-5 pass attempts for 22 yards.

The Bears claimed Fales, who was on the Ravens’ practice squad, in November after Jay Cutler was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. Fales, drafted in the sixth round by the Bears in 2014, was cut by the team after training camp in August.

All four quarterbacks who took a snap for the Bears in in the regular season will play elsewhere this year. Jay Cutler is still available in free agency, while Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley were both signed by the 49ers.

Hate crimes keep increasing. Here's what Chicago is doing about it.
Last year, Black and Brown residents, Muslim Americans, Jewish Americans, members of the LGBTQ+ community and others were targeted in hate crimes more than 300 times. Smart new policies, zero tolerance, cooperation and unity can defeat hate.
