#chicagobears QB #tysonbagent sits down in the #rekap studio with #kap & #guff as the trio discuss the exciting year ahead for the Bears. Why and what is different thus far with #benjohnson? Is #calebwilliams ready to explode in Year 2? Can #gervondexter turn into an #allpro? Is Bagent a candidate for an extension and what he sees in himself as a possible starter one day in the NFL.

Deep dish or thin crust 🍕🍕?? #chicagocubs or #whitesox? And does he REALLY believe the Bears are built to win #superbowl 60?!?!

welcome into a special edition of our Bears 
recap I’m David Kaplan That’s Ryan McGuffy And   our special guest is Bears quarterback Tyson Bent 
Tyson welcome into our studios Man it’s amazing   in here Thank you guys for having me So you are 
going into year three Yes sir And I said to you   when you walked in the door have they talked to 
you about an extension yet Because when you got   your opportunity to play two years ago when 
Justin went down two and two played well and   it looked like the offense moved pretty well when 
you were in there How much would you like to stay   here with the Bears What they’re cooking now 
Yeah I mean I don’t think anybody loves what’s   going on you know here in Chicago more than more 
than I do especially with the new staff in town I   think everything so far has been just you know 
just trying to take it all in just because of   how amazing it is So I mean yeah like I just 
told y’all nobody nobody wants to be around   here more than me So I’m all ears You have quite 
the unique like your three-year journey in the   NFL Just just how you got to the Bears been really 
well documented obviously like being an undrafted   D2 guy but Justin’s the guy when you get here 
Then yes last year you have Caleb the whole flu   situation the firing and now the excitement of Ben 
Johnson that’s a roller coaster to ride in itself   regardless of what position you play But being 
in the quarterback room what have you learned   about yourself while you watch everything going 
around you like whether it’s new quarterbacks   number one overall picks coaching changes how 
has that impacted you or do you still put your   head down regardless and say I got a job to do 
regardless of who’s in charge Yeah I think that   there a lot a lot of a lot of that has has to do 
with it Just the the simple fact of realizing that   no matter where you are who’s in the room who’s 
ahead of you whatever’s going on it really does   nothing to try and like put make that as a focal 
point rather than because as we know the NFL is a   what have you done for me recently business Every 
day you got to show up and do whatever is asked   of you at a high at a high level So that’s what 
I put my focus on And um yeah I would say that’s   just like overwhelmingly the most important thing 
I’ve realized so far So for people out there that   are going “Wow we got the number one coach in the 
hiring cycle The Bears stepped up paid him big   money brought this amazing staff.” I’m not asking 
you to say anything negative about who was here   but what is it like having Ben in the building 
because Ryan Paul said to me on the radio a week   or two ago I can promise you accountability with 
Ben Johnson that’s not an issue Yeah And I think   I that was noticeable from day one I mean this 
is the guy you know he is the guy that everybody   in the league wanted you know in their building 
And I think you know thank God we got him in our   building because like I just said from the jump 
it has been he’s been on us He hasn’t wavered   um at all No matter who’s messing up everybody 
gets the same uh Ben Johnson every single day So   um you know him the whole rest of the staff that 
he brought in it’s been uh it’s been very pleasant   for all the players to be able to take in the 
last couple weeks Yeah I mean we we in Chicago way   prior to you coming here have have sold hope and 
faith Like that’s what all we’ve had We haven’t   had a lot of championships And it’s not just the 
Bears it’s the Cubs it’s the White Sox it’s the   Blackhawks it’s the Bulls Hope and faith And and 
every year Chicago wins the off seasonason and it   feels that way this year but everyone is a little 
bit like going into it I think like this like we   got the dude we got the guy everybody wanted it’s 
year two for Caleb there’s all these weapons Are   you buying in to the hope and faith for the first 
time Because like you don’t want to sit there and   go we’re going to go you know 12 and five and make 
the playoffs But this team on paper it feels like   for the first time it does feel different and 
I don’t want to buy into the narrative like   okay we got the guy and then something doesn’t 
play out right The schedule’s going to be the   schedule There’s some legit like the north is the 
north but at least for where the direction and the   arrow of this franchise for the first time in a 
long time it certainly feels like it’s actually   headed up Listen you asking the wrong guy I say 
the Bears are winning the 2026 Super Bowl Let’s   effing go Oh I love that But on a serious note on 
a serious on a serious note if you don’t you know   it’s one thing to win the Super Bowl Holy [ __ ] 
That’s what everybody’s trying to do right One   team gets to do it every year There’s still 
more than 10 teams that haven’t done it ever   So it’s so hard to do It’s unbelievable However 
if if there is not uh significant progress made   uh from past years to this year it would have been 
because something drastic had to have happened   Like there is absolutely no way with the way with 
you know the players that we have on paper right   The them shing up those big boys up front right 
Paying those big boys right Paying the head coach   that is all knowing that everybody wanted on on 
their on their team Um I think with all these   thing in place and the way that they’re going 
about teaching us everything uh it would it would   take something very significant for there to not 
be any noticeable uh positive change going into   this year Complexity of the offense you had three 
coordinators last year The complexity of what you   had the first two years and what you’re dealing 
with now from a quarterback position in terms of   the offensive scheme Yeah you know I think we’re 
still getting into it right now um definitely have   uh they definitely been painting a very good 
picture so far uh since we’ve been there Um   I would say any NFL offense is pretty complex 
Um but the diff the biggest difference that I’m   uh seeing right now is the you know the the 
mixture of of Ben and everybody that he brought   with him um and the way that they are teaching 
us what we are responsible for on every play   um I think has been the biggest difference Um he 
puts a lot of the focus not necessarily on the   defense but you know what is our job on the play 
and how perfect can we do that job each and every   play and just very detail oriented um everything 
all the dots connect everything makes sense um   and he’s expecting and demanding um you know maybe 
not greatness but for you to at least be striving   or to look like you’re striving for that So those 
are the that’s the biggest takeaway from um the   difference in offenses uh the past three years So 
we’re taping this on the day that the schedule’s   released So pardon my prematurity here of asking 
you to pick someone and not to single anyone out   but I’m going to give you mine and then I want 
to hear yours Either side of the football like if   you’re predicting if you’re projecting a breakout 
player in 2025 I think it’s Rome I think Rome’s   going to take a massive jump from year one to year 
two Who would you pick Any side of the football   I mean you guys have barely been at Howis 
Hall Yeah But yeah you know on the you know   I’ll pick one from me I’ll pick one from each 
side of the ball Okay Um I think that I think   that Caleb will have a huge year this year Um 
just because of all the guys that they they   brought in and and you know him and and as 
well as the staff you know working together   all of us you know just getting it right 
I think he’ll have a huge year this year   um and will benefit very positively from all the 
changes that have been made Um and then on the   defensive side of the ball um you know my favorite 
player is TJ Edwards but he’s a breakout player   already You know he he’s the man Javon Dexter 
first team all pro Let’s go Let Every time I see   that dude he’s getting after it some way somehow 
Um and just takes his business very seriously   um and is you know practices just like the game 
So I say I’m going big Jervon Dexter love it of   what you do day by day Yes Caleb Williams 
is there but as we like to say you’re one   play away from let’s go Cale Caleb Z you got to 
go in or Caleb’s up you got to go in How do you   prepare that mentality on a team now that Ryan 
Paul said it’s time to win football games period Yeah I would say just because in my head I I’m not 
exactly sure what the alternative is other than to   um do your job do exactly what the hell that 
they’re asking me to do Um and nobody really   loves their I don’t think anybody loves their job 
more than I do on the whole face of the planet Um   so that’s really enough motivation for me to um 
you know [ __ ] get after like my life is on the   line every single day And you know self-proclaimed 
self-proclaimed I think I’m a bad dude as well So   so so I got to stay ready cuz you know just like 
you said whether you know wherever you know would   love for it to be here but you know here or not 
here you know you know the the the storm is coming   you know the storm This is a quote from you know 
Ben last couple weeks ago The storm is coming So   I you know we got to be ready for it So it’s a 
natural transition to what I want to ask you at   some point anyway because look it’s no secret 
like the ultimate goal for you is that you’re   the dude everyone’s talking about to be as the 
starter whether it’s here or somewhere else That’s   the goal of you to be in the National Football 
League I’ve seen your name attached to things now   Like a year ago people were trying to figure 
out who Tyson B or a year and a half ago people   are like “Who the hell’s Tyson Bean?” Now teams 
are going “Are is this guy available?” Because   they know about you They’ve seen film of you They 
There’s Who’s asking Who’s asking if I’m available   Well I can tell you the New Orleans Saints the 
day Derek Carr retired We’re about Tyson Bee’s   name became a hot topic in the Bayou So not that 
you try to follow the smoke and mirrors of social   media and all that stuff but in NFL circles your 
name is being discussed as other teams are going   we don’t know about the future of X How does that 
that certainly can’t motivate you but the fact   that your name has gone from undrafted free agent 
to teams are thinking about you as a possibility   as their starter You’re not where you want to be 
yet but you’re that is showing progression of who   you can be and what the league is thinking of you 
now Yeah And I think that that is all wonderful   Um but you know also I know you know very much 
more than anybody else that there it’s it’s a lot   of work that needs to be done um before that Um 
and it’s not really something that you can really   just sit there and think about because I I’m a 
bit you know you got to be where your feet are And   right now I am all in loving it here in Chicago 
for the Chicago Bears Playing my role doing my job   to the best of my ability And whatever comes after 
that is great But in the meantime in between you   know we just got to we got to keep getting ready 
so that we are ready for you know that moment   whatever it may be cuz the storm is coming man 
It’s coming You got to be ready for it Don’t let   it Don’t let Don’t let the uh um what did it say 
in the in the movie just now with Michael B Jordan   He said uh jump on the work Don’t let the work 
jump on you You don’t want to be you don’t want   to be you know unpleasantly surprised So we sit 
in this office every day and we quote movie lines   It’s what we do Mhm Because we just have fun Mhm 
There’s some movie you’re not you want a mindless   40 minutes and you flip Oh that’s on I’m going to 
watch the last 40 minutes What movie would that   feature Oh man Semipro is a good one Elf is a good 
one I’m going down the Will Frell route Uh Will   Frell’s the man Um old old Yeah I mean yeah those 
are my two that that’s clicking right now I like   the Avatar Hold up [Music] Um the uh fighter pilot 
movie one or two Top Gun Wow Top Gun Maverick Wow   So I adopted a golden retriever whose birthday 
was yesterday We’ve lost him one yesterday And   you know what his name is Ma Hey listen Uh I mean 
that that that’s arguably uh I mean one and two   you know I don’t know which one’s better I agree I 
mean I feel like two better I mean yeah And that’s   that and that never happens That never happens 
So yeah Solid The best What’s the rel What’s the   quarterback room like with you and Caleb I know 
you know you guys come from different Case Yeah   Case Keen I was going to ask about Case but like 
just the room itself in the last 12 plus months   The relationship the fun that you guys can have 
in the room outside the room because you come   from two different backgrounds two different 
programs You know you got the Heisman you have   undrafted you have 1011 What is that dynamic like 
and how much It’s probably a question a little bit   for Caleb too but like how have you helped him 
and how has he helped you Well I’ll say Heisman   and D2 Heisman Um fair And yeah but with the 
quarterback room I mean it’s it’s probably as   good as you can get right now I mean everybody 
everybody in the room knows that you know yes of   course individually we all got to strive and we 
all got to get better and we all got stuff that   we need to work on and and that definitely gets 
done and there’s no shortage of that getting done   Um but there’s an understanding of you know kind 
of you know we’re all there to help and provide   so that 18 could be the best that he could be on 
the field Um and I think that hanging out with him   this spring being around him already can obviously 
see um jumps from year one to year two just a just   from a general understanding of everything that’s 
going on Um and I think you know me young AR AR16   um being there from last year I think that offers 
you know a comfortability and then adding case now   to the room I mean you talk about a guy you know 
especially somebody like me that you know is still   really in search of how can I continue to get 
better What a guy to be able to talk to about   any different situation that you could possibly 
be in Being a freaking guy for a franchise being   the backup being on the practice squad I mean 
the dudeity the dude longevity I mean yeah my   whole routine is is different now you know kind of 
thanks to Case Keenum and him kind of offering and   his little tidbits on on what he think what he’s 
done and um then obviously me you know just trying   to be a sponge and everybody else in the room 
Um I think kind of just gravitates towards you   know asking him a lot of the questions So uh it’s 
great And then obviously you’ve got JT Barrett as   our freaking quarterback coach I mean what the 
heck I’m going to How freaking How amazing is   that Cuz I’m a Buckeye fan I mean if you’re from 
from if you’re from Ohio I mean wow this you built   a statue of this mug Like here here’s I’m here 
Here’s what I was gonna say Remember last was   it two years ago I was like “Cap take a look Take 
a look at the Detroit Lions coaching staff.” Like   I’m talking take a deep dive look and look at 
the amount of NFL experience on the staff You   have Antoine Randall out of Barrett You have Hank 
Freillley on the offensive line Scotty Montgomery   is their running back’s coach Aaron Glenn was 
their DC And and there’s guys I met I think   uh Oh was it Yeah And you had their tight end’s 
coach was Steve Hayen or something And I’m like   dude former players matter J John Fox was a senior 
defensive assistant just up and down the sidelines   the guys coaching two Super Bowls And I’m having 
to Google half the names across the league not   just in Chicago because I’m like man I’m telling 
you those things those guys resonate with dudes   who are suiting up every day Is that true Yeah 
I would Yeah there’s definitely a um there’s   definitely a different level I think of maybe 
not competence but maybe just deep understanding   um when somebody is teaching you something that 
he has physically you know done or tried to do Um   so I think that even especially with JT somebody 
that’s as young as him he will do the drill first   and be like hey this is what we’re you know this 
is what we’re doing and he can you know was in   the NFL does it at a high level So um I think 
there is definitely there’s a part of that that   definitely makes a lot of sense and I think that 
we’re we we’re filled with those on our staff now   Al Harris Eric Benemy Jim Dre So running I mean 
name whoever you want Press Taylor like Yeah name   Now the Bears are going to be this like we know 
it’s a copycat league If this works if this model   works everyone’s going to be just carbon copy 
It was like the Detroit Lions model Now it could   be the Chicago Bears model And for years in this 
town people are like “What if the OC gets plucked   by another job?” I said “Name one that has.” 
Yeah No I would love for that to happen in this   town because that means shit’s going right We’re 
winning and there’s a factory that’s being like   that’s that’s actually producing coaches and a 
tree at House Hall for once and not the other way   around It’d be great if that happened So you’re 
at Sheepard There’s no NIL at Sheepard right   my senior my senior year but it might have been 
a little shady We won’t get into it We won’t get   into it Statute of limitations So essentially 
no Okay So if you were playing now in college   and phone rings you got one year left at Shephard 
You’re setting all these records and it’s a power   five Go you want to transfer I’ll give you 500 
grand Do you do that or you go “No I’m going to   stay right where I’m at.” Because it’s like I see 
guys playing for four different colleges in four   years I hate it Yeah Yeah I mean there there’s 
two sides to that story You know what I mean 100%   You know I mean I’m a little bit of a weirdo I I 
didn’t even necessarily stay at Shephardd for any   other reason that I was way too scared to leave 
home Right But if you’re not scared to leave home   I mean you got to take the $500,000 right I mean 
my goodness 500,000 Yeah What are we talking about   You know how many dudes make it to the NFL Nobody 
Yep 1% of That’s about how many Nobody So yeah   you got to Yeah you got to So it’s really just a 
shame on uh NC on the NCAA Um that it got to this   that that it’s like this Yeah Or that there’s 
not a uh that there’s not a ceiling Yeah Like   all right guys You can make you know $100,000 
a year Okay I think that should be for freshman   like you’re paying these guys are getting so much 
money up front for what they could be doing rather   than the other way around of here’s your 100 grand 
base and if you become the guy we think you could   be there’s 8 to 10 million waiting for you junior 
senior year that’s the way I think the the I mean   wow I mean when you really just take a step back 
and you really are like you know what did Arch   Manning sign for $10 million to go to Texas 
yeah the kid Michigan Blair but look at look   at look at Shadur and look at Urs just got a snap 
he’s going to make what 50,000 Quinn Yeah He’s a   seventh round pick He made more money at Texas Now 
he looks like a dumbass for coming coming out and   going to the NFL Like that’s how crazy it’s gotten 
And like when you think about like the how much   how the the number of percentage of people that 
don’t even have like $1,000 Yep And then we’re   sitting here talking like you got the you got 
the situations happening like at the University   of Tennessee with their quarterback of like oh no 
I’m out like “Oh okay Y’all give us some money.”   Well I’mma hold out and make more money Like wow 
Yeah You know cuz then wow I mean cuz then there’s   essentially it’s like you’re less hyped to make it 
to the NFL So then you would be like part of part   of make it to the NFL was like “Oh my gosh now 
my people are now me and my people are straight.”   Yep Hallelujah Now it’s like these dudes are 
like “Oh yeah going to rookie mini camp Just   got picked up.” And there’s no handouts anymore 
Yeah Like there’s no more BC dude It’s everyone   on campus And if you don’t earn your keep we going 
to see a game We go every year to a a basketball   game at an amazing arena So this year we went to 
Kansas Nice It was incredible Last year we went   to Duke Yep And saw Cameron Indoor Stadium Have 
you ever had a chance Probably not because you   been playing Is there a football venue you go I’d 
like to just get a couple beers and go to a game   and tailgate there M man I’m going to be honest 
Call call me bias There is no better game day   atmosphere than the Shepherd’s University Dude the 
Shepherd University homecoming week is by far the   best game day atmosphere that I have been to when 
I’m thinking about where I want to go and just   drink a couple beers Dude if I want to go watch 
a football game okay you know I might go Michigan   Ohio State okay at at Michigan And I think that 
would be pretty electric Could you imagine going   to a game at Shephard with that guy That would be 
Wow Are you the biggest thing to ever come out of Oh Um yes Yeah Yeah It’s okay to say yes Yeah probably 
Here’s what here here’s what I you you said you   were scared to leave home but you have this aura 
and confidence about you that I absolutely love   And some people might get rubbed the wrong way by 
saying “Oh it’s arrogance.” I think it’s complete   confidence just sitting next to you right here The 
way you’ve carried yourself thus far in the NFL   So when you had to go pack up your bags and go to 
Chicago and leave home nervous What was that like   Shoot man It was like It was like immediate like 
“Oh my gosh celebration I got picked up by the   Bears Wow this is wonderful.” And then it was like 
the next day the anxiety because I went hard that   night with my with my buddies because we made it 
to the NFL I was like “Oh my.” I looked up how far   away is Chicago from Martinsburg West Virginia 
And then I saw 11 hours And then I was like   “Damn.” And then I got there and then I remember 
the first practice that wasn’t the greatest I was   kind of sitting in my room and I was just like “Oh 
my gosh this is exactly what happens to every kid   when they go off to college or when they freaking 
like get a new job somewhere and they freak out   and they come back immediately.” Um but you know I 
got great parents I got good family So they helped   me through it And then four days later I never 
felt like that again So it was all good First   time they said to you um not when you just got put 
in Justin’s out thumb injury your starting What   was that experience like Um yeah So he came off to 
the sideline and you know initially didn’t really   think anything happened cuz he got tackled and 
yeah he was like on the ground for a second but   then he popped up and he ran off He was running 
off to so I’m like “Okay yeah dang.” I’m like   “He’s fine.” Right So then I we walk up to where 
where the you know QBs and the QB coach kind of   congregate in between drives and I see his thumb 
is completely dislocated So I’m like I’m like hey   I just I’m like hey here we go Like here we go 
And then I’m warming up and quarterback coach   talking to me And shout out to Andrew Janokco 
my guy Good Janoko is a good dude I I miss him   Um he’s talking to me about a bunch of [ __ ] 
and he’s like making corrections on the call   sheet and I said “Coach let’s you tell whoever 
that the game plan is the game plan You y’all   call whatever y’all call whatever you want.” All 
right let’s roll All right let’s do this And then   uh Yeah it was that was it was crazy though And 
your first start was was that the Raiders First   start was at home against the Raiders I I was 
at that game and that the the fan buzzed for   that game to see you play It was going sideways 
a little bit with the I think everybody was ready   for something new And then this town No one loves 
an athlete like the backup No one loves anybody   more than the backup quarterback in this town 
That’s how it’s been forever and always I hope   that that changes No offense but the buzz when 
you led the team down did you score a rushing   touchdown in that game or I can’t remember That 
was the Minnesota game The Minnesota game Okay   I just remember it was like that’s that’s when 
all the butt then it was like secret man Yeah   Then we put a ass spanking on the Raiders to end 
that What How long was that streak It was ugly 12   Yeah it was bad It was like more than a year Yeah 
Yeah Yeah There’s been a lot of those streaks Wow   In this town And you won Wow Well I think that 
ignited like a eightgame home win streak Yeah   Right Into the next year Yeah Into Yeah Yep Wow 
What I think is cool too is you talk about being   like this you know the small kid from the small 
town and then look what you’re doing now This   this is you’ve done this You did a camp last year 
but talk about what you’re doing here coming up on   May 23rd because I think it’s awesome what you’re 
doing for kids Perfect Yep Just so I don’t mess   this up All right May 20 May 23rd 2025 Uh this 
coming next week we are doing a offensive skills   camp at Glenbook Glennbrook North High School home

here Get over here.” I just think it’s super cool   what you’re doing You know you don’t No no nobody 
has to do this type of stuff Yeah and for you to   be you know the the backup quarterback of the 
Bears and embracing your own opportunity here   and giving back to kids I I just think that’s

Chicagoland And check out that QR code if you’re   if you’re interested in going because it’s a great

He did or you did Um no So it’s not really   a design uh rather rather it is uh CrossFit So um 
I’ve been doing CrossFit ever since I was around   eight nine years old Um and the way CrossFit 
is defined is constantly varied functional mo   functional movements performed at high intensity 
Um so that’s kind of how me and my brother and   my dad kind of had us getting down since an 
early age And then I kind of developed my own   kind of love and understanding for it ever 
since you know once I became like around 17   18 and started understanding what it means to be 
healthy and what that all is Um of course I don’t   know what the heck I would do I don’t know what 
I’m going to do when all this football stuff’s   over with That’s to be determined But um yeah

time I’ll let him do the programming You know he’s   got a trick shoulder and is a little older than 
me so I let him pick the workouts Um but then I obvious um Andrew Hiller who actually lives not

be where my feet are But you know when I think   about Tyson Beant and where he where he wants 
to be which is Pro Bowl and Super Bowl but like   who he is I go back to how you started this whole 
interview and you said I have the best job in the   world and no one’s going to tell me differently 
So if it ended tomorrow or you don’t want it to   end tomorrow but it seems that you have this 
approach that when you wake up like you’re   going to be okay Yeah Yeah Well and because you 
know regret is is tough You know regret’s tough   So I feel like I do you know kind of on autopilot 
try to you know squeeze all the juice that I can   from each thing because it could you know yeah we 
say all pros and super rules I could be on the way   home tomorrow you know knock on wood But um so
