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.

"Tyson epitomizes what we are building at the Chicago Bears," head coach Ben Johnson said, via the team's official statement. "We are constructing a team that is driven by belief and built by hard work, and there is no better example of that than Tyson Bagent."
