Trade deadline speculation is swirling around the Chicago Bears as rumors link both veteran edge rusher Khalil Mack and young quarterback Tyson Bagent to potential moves before the NFL deadline.
Bagent, wearing number 17, saw action in the Bears' October 29, 2023 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, where he threw passes during the regular-season contest. The quarterback's playing time has fueled discussion about his role on the roster amid the trade talks.
Mack, a perennial Pro Bowl defender, has been the subject of trade rumors for multiple seasons given his contract status and the Bears' rebuilding trajectory. The dual focus on both a defensive cornerstone and an emerging quarterback highlights the franchise's uncertain direction.
The report originates from SB Nation's Lester A. Wiltfong Jr., published on November 2, 2026, as the NFL trade deadline approaches.
