With the season looming and training camp on the horizon, the Bears have their sights set on a return to postseason glory.<\/p>\n<p>However, behind Williams, the depth chart thins out quickly. Tyson Bagent showed promise last season with a couple of wins under his belt, but there\u2019s a lingering question about having a seasoned backup ready if Williams hits the sidelines. Enter Ryan Tannehill, a former Pro Bowler with a solid track record in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Fishbain from The Athletic floated Tannehill\u2019s name as a potential addition, pointing out his experience and ability to step in effectively should Williams need relief. With over 200 touchdown passes and a career record reflecting his reliability as a starter, Tannehill could provide the Bears with a robust safety net.<\/p>\n<p>While Chicago may prefer not to make a move unless injury strikes, the allure of bolstering their depth with someone of Tannehill\u2019s caliber makes practical sense. With ambitions set high for 2024, securing a seasoned backup like Tannehill could be a strategic move to fortify their roster for the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Bears are revving up for what could be a promising 2024 season, especially after snagging Caleb Williams to\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":23980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[3845],"class_list":["post-843","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other-sports","tag-bears"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=843"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/843\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23980"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=843"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=843"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=843"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
