Chicago Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent signed a two-year contract extension on Wednesday that spans through the 2027 season.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, however his representation told NFL Network that it was for $10 million with a maximum value of $16 million with incentives.

'We are fortunate to ensure that Tyson remains a member of the Chicago Bears,' general manager Ryan Poles said. 'He is one of the hardest workers on our team and in addition to being a great competitor and teammate, he is a catalyst for positive influence throughout our entire organization.'

The undrafted Bagent has spent his NFL career thus far serving as the backup to both Justin Fields and Caleb Williams in Chicago.

Bagent, 25, played in five games (four starts) during his rookie season in 2023, completing 65.7 percent of his passes for 859 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions.

He completed both pass attempts for a total of 11 yards while playing in four games off the bench last season.
