After a solid preseason performance vs. the Bills over the weekend, the Bears are signing quarterback Tyson Bagent to a two-year, $10 million contract extension worth up to $16 million with incentives, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday. Bagent's tenure in Chicago will last through the 2027 season now.
Bagent is entering his third NFL season, but he was eligible for an extension since he went undrafted in 2023. New Chicago coach Ben Johnson decided to lock up his backup quarterback early.
