Overview
- Multiple NFL insiders report that the Ravens reached out to the Bears after Lamar Jackson was ruled for thumb surgery and Tyler Huntley suffered a toe injury, leaving Baltimore short at quarterback.
- Chicago has previously rebuffed trade calls for Tyson Bagent and kept him on a two‑year extension worth about $10 million, which gives the Bears roster control and negotiating leverage.
- Bagent has limited 2026 playing time, completing 42 of 64 passes for roughly 409 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions, but he is 26 and familiar with Baltimore offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.
- Analysts say the most realistic return for Bagent would be a late‑round pick and that Baltimore’s urgency could be the key factor if the Ravens are willing to pay above market before the Nov. 10 deadline.
- The Bagent talks form part of wider Bears trade‑deadline activity that includes separate speculation about shopping veterans such as Khalil Mack and could affect Chicago’s roster plans this month.
