Report: Cardinals Eye Bears Backup Tyson Bagent in QB Search

Bagent is under a recent two-year extension that would require compensation to acquire.

Overview

  • Arizona radio host John Gambadoro said the team is "intrigued" by Chicago backup Tyson Bagent, characterizing the situation as exploratory.
  • Bagent signed a two-year, $10 million extension in 2025 that can escalate to $16 million, which means any acquisition would have to come via trade.
  • Regional reporting notes the Bears value Bagent's role but would listen to a serious offer rather than part with him for minimal return.
  • In four career starts for Chicago, Bagent logged 859 passing yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions, plus 109 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
  • Arizona's quarterback outlook remains unsettled under new coach Mike LaFleur, with Kyler Murray expected to be moved and Jacoby Brissett and Kedon Slovis still on the roster.
