Now that the 2026 NFL draft is over, there are not going to be very many roster moves for the team moving forward until training camp starts. So, this is a great chance to look at the Chicago Bears depth chart at each position and see how the unit stacks up. What does the quarterback position look like?
Chicago Bears post-draft quarterback depth chart
Caleb Williams
This is not going to need much discussion. Williams is the obvious starter; the question is more about how much better he will be in year two of the Ben Johnson offense. There are two arguments being made. First, the league will catch up to the offense, and that Williams had enough flaws that can be exposed. On the other end, he was learning a complicated offense and won games. Now, he will enter the year more confident and ready to take a step forward.
Tyson Bagent
The Bears said that they would have listened to trade calls on Bagent. They wanted to do right by Bagent, who they view as a top 32 quarterback in the NFL. At the end of the day, the NFL likely called their bluff. The Bears tried to prop up their backup and get something significant of value for him, but could not do it. Perhaps a team called with a low-ball offer, and the Bears said no, or every team said that they do not view him as anything close to a starter. Either way, it is clear that the Bears value him as a backup. Another team calling after a training camp injury is the only way he is moved now.
Case Keenum
Keenum is one of the best third quarterbacks to have in the NFL, and one reason the team was going to be interested in listening to calls for Bagent. Still, Keenum might not be against his situation right now. He is essentially an extra quarterback coach in the room with two young and developing players. Teams will remember this, and at 38 years old, Keenum can likely propel this job into a coaching career when he retires.
Miller Moss
Moss is a UDFA rookie from Louisville. The team did so well on Bagent, it makes sense why they would want another arm to develop behind these three. However, Moss may not have the same potential and might end up being more of a training camp arm who does not stick around.
This quarterback room is clearly built around growth at the top and stability behind it. If Williams takes that expected step, everything else falls into place and the Bears are exactly where they need to be under center.
