The Chicago Bears have two quarterbacks on their roster after Tuesday's cuts, starter Justin Fields and undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent.

P.J. Walker and Nathan Peterman were roster casualties, but that doesn't mean the Bears won't add a quarterback as insurance behind Fields.

"Yeah, that's a good thought. We're certainly looking at that option," Matt Eberflus said. "We're looking at other options, too. But that's a good thought when you can have somebody with experience in there to help younger quarterbacks. It's something that we've talked about."

Chicago has the No. 1 waiver position, so they have space to sign a veteran free agent as well as their pick of discarded players to use as avenues to add to their quarterback room. 

The average NFL franchise has increased in value by 24 percent over the past 12 months reaching $5.14 billion.

Collectively, the NFL’s 32 teams are worth $165 billion, including team-related business and real estate held by owners.

The Dallas Cowboys rank first in the NFL and across all sports leagues globally at $9.2 billion. The Cowboys had an operating profit of $460 million in 2022.

The New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams rank second and third at $7.04 billion and $6.98 billion respectively. The New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers round out the top-5.

Yannick Ngakoue and the Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year, $10.5 million deal.

The Bears will be Ngakoue's fifth team since the start of the 2020 season. The pass-rusher has posted at least eight sacks in every season of his seven-year NFL career and is coming off a 9.5-sack season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2022.

The Bears' 20 sacks in 2022 were the fewest in the NFL.
