The Chicago Bears and backup quarterback Tyson Bagent have agreed on a two-year contract extension that keeps him with the team through the 2027 campaign, per Mark Carman of CHGO Bears.

The Chicago Bears sorted out their backup quarterback situation Wednesday, signing Tyson Bagent to a two-year, $10 million contract as the top option behind starter Caleb Williams. ESPN's Tom Pelissero confirmed the signing after CHGO Bears was first to report the move.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams played a huge role in the team's early success against the Buffalo Bills in Sunday night's 38-0 preseason win. He took advantage of the scheming from head coach Ben Johnson, as the 13 snaps he took all served a purpose in his development.
