The Bears signed backup quarterback Tyson Bagent to a two-year, $10 million contract extension on Wednesday afternoon. The deal keeps the former Division II star in Chicago through the 2027 season as a high-end QB2 behind second-year signal caller Caleb Williams.

The Chicago Bears and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent have agreed on a two-year contract extension that keeps him with the team through the 2027 campaign.

Bagent worked his way into the second-string position in 2024 and has since established himself as a solid backup for the Bears organization. Ben Johnson and the rest of the staff have been impressed with the young passer's skills, leading to his two-year, $10 million extension.
