It's somewhat understandable that Mark Brunell is drawing interest from, among other teams, Green Bay to be a back up quarterback. But you know a team is short on receivers when they sign old friend Brandon Lloyd.

Yep, Lloyd has found a job.

The Chicago Bears signed Lloyd to a one-year contract today, according to the Chicago Tribune. The Bears recently lost free agent Bernard Berrian to Minnesota.

The connection is that Lloyd, he of zero touchdown catches in exchange for $10 million of guaranteed money during his two years with the Redskins, played at Illinois for current Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner.

The Bears signed veteran Marty Booker earlier this week.

Chicago fans weren't exactly embracing the Lloyd signing. Among the responses to the Tribune story:

* "You got to be kidding right?"

* "When are the Bears going to stop picking up Washington rejects? ... Lloyd is a basket case. He's turned into an 'all-me' Terrell Owens but without the talent. If a Bears scout recommended this pick up, then he should be fired."

* "We just drove fear into the hearts of our competitors."

* "Whoever thinks this is a good move should be banned from ever talking about football again."
