Why Tyson Bagent Just Got Closer To Another Chance To Start, But Not In Chicago

Erik Lambert reports that Chicago Bears backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has emerged as a prime trade target for the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens are dealing with severe quarterback injuries, as starter Lamar Jackson could miss the season with a thumb injury and Tyler Huntley is sidelined with turf toe. Reports indicate Baltimore has reached out to Chicago regarding Bagent's availability.

Lambert suggests the Bears could entertain offers to replenish draft capital surrendered in their recent trade for Jeffery Simmons. Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle previously coached Bagent in Chicago, making the backup an attractive option. However, Lambert notes the Bears are under no pressure to trade Bagent unless Baltimore presents a compelling offer.
