Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs believes the Bears would probably need “a second-round pick (or two picks equaling that value)” to make it “worthwhile” to trade Tyson Bagent.

“I’m not sure a team would offer a Round 2 pick for Bagent. It’s worth noting the Bears have had meetings with agents representing some No. 2-type quarterbacks, so they’re putting contingency plans in place,” Biggs continues while specifically pointing out that the Jets are a team that could look to go the budget route at quarterback. Of all the things that happened during the NFL Combine, the hard-launching of the Tyson Bagent Trade Complex was definitely one of them. The desperation is real for those without a solidified quarterback position.
