From the article

Entering his 4th season with the Bears, Tyson Bagent remains a steadfast presence...he signed a two-year $10 million deal in 2025...he is one of the few backups that are still ascending, I think there is a very good chance he gets traded in 2026.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Bagent's ascending profile and $10M deal position him as likely trade candidate in 2026.

Bagent signed a two-year $10 million deal in 2025 and is entering his 4th season with the Bears as a steadfast backup. He is one of the few ascending backups in the league, with strong preseason performance (401 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT in three starts in 2025) that has generated trade chatter. The source believes there is a very good chance he gets traded in 2026 for a nice draft package, as multiple playoff teams with injury-prone QBs and weak backup options (Denver, LA, Tampa) or teams evaluating QB futures (Arizona, NY Jets) may pursue him midseason.
