Report: Bears signing backup QB Tyson Bagent to extension

The Chicago Bears are signing backup quarterback Tyson Bagent to a two-year, $10 million contract extension with a maximum value of $16 million with incentives, his representatives told NFL Network on Wednesday.
The deal runs through the 2027 season for the undrafted Bagent, who has spent his NFL career thus far serving as the backup to both Justin Fields and Caleb Williams in Chicago.
Bagent, 25, played in five games (four starts) during his rookie season in 2023, completing 65.7 percent of his passes for 859 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions.
He completed both pass attempts for a total of 11 yards while playing in four games off the bench last season.
