With three quarterbacks out the door this offseason, the Sanchize may be headed to the Windy City.

The Chicago Bears will host quarterback Mark Sanchez on a free-agent visit Thursday, a source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Sanchez spent last season as a backup with the Dallas Cowboys after being cut by the Denver Broncos days before the 2016 season started. The 30-year-old appeared in two games for the Cowboys, completing 10-of-18 passes for 93 yards and two interceptions.

Sanchez would be a backup to Mike Glennon if he signs with the Bears, offering an upgrade over current roster members David Fales and Connor Shaw with his eight seasons of NFL experience.

The Bears said farewell to Brian Hoyer and Matt Barkley, who both signed with the San Francisco 49ers, and longtime starter Jay Cutler earlier this offseason.
