Chicago Bears Name Tyson Bagent Backup Quarterback
News summary

The Chicago Bears have solidified their quarterback room with rookie Caleb Williams as the starter and Tyson Bagent as the backup, who has shown significant improvement since last season. Bagent, an undrafted player from Shepherd University, previously filled in for Justin Fields and led the Bears to a 2-2 record in four starts. His preseason performance has garnered national attention, leading to speculation about potential trade offers from other teams, despite the Bears' intent to keep him for his mentoring role with Williams. Bagent expressed his ambition to achieve more than just being a backup, which could make him an attractive target for teams in need of a quarterback. However, the Bears recognize the value of retaining Bagent as a vital support system for their rookie quarterback, enhancing their depth at the position. The team's management is currently weighing the benefits of keeping Bagent versus entertaining trade offers that could arise during the season.
