His backup is Tyson Bagent... the quality tape he put together during each preseason, plus the coaching he's received from Ben and the Bears' offensive staff, could land him an even bigger payday (he inked a 2-year, $10 million deal last year) when he's a free agent in 2028.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Bagent's preseason tape and coaching could earn him bigger contract in 2028 free agency.

Tyson Bagent is the primary backup to Caleb Williams on a 2-year, $10 million deal signed last year, with free agency coming in 2028. Despite not taking meaningful reps since his rookie year, the source praises the quality tape he produced during each preseason and the coaching he's received from Ben Johnson and the Bears' offensive staff, suggesting this could position him for an even bigger payday when he hits free agency. In 2023 as a starter, he went 2-2 with 65.1% completion, 4 TDs (3 passing, 1 rushing), and 5 INTs over four games.
