"The Bears let it be known they'll take calls on Bagent, whom Johnson holds in high regard. It probably would take a second-round pick (or two picks equaling that value) to make it worthwhile for the Bears. The New York Jets are in the market for a starter and could be looking to go the budget route after sinking $30 million guaranteed into Justin Fields."
"On the one hand, asking for a second-round pick seems like a tall task. But on the other hand, you can't get what you don't ask for in negotiations. I don't see an issue with setting a high price at the outset, then coming down from it to meet in the middle to consummate a trade."
The Chicago Bears have indicated willingness to trade backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, though only at the right price. Bears leadership values Bagent highly and is seeking a second-round pick or two picks of equivalent value to make a trade worthwhile. While this asking price may seem ambitious, it represents a reasonable negotiating starting point that can be adjusted downward during discussions. The Bears are simultaneously meeting with agents representing other quarterback prospects to develop contingency plans. Trading Bagent could provide value for building the 2026 roster while potentially offering the quarterback an opportunity to compete elsewhere.
