Bears Eyeing Lions' Backup QB Hooker in Potential Trade
27 Jul
Summary
- Bears could target Lions' backup QB Hendon Hooker
- Hooker competing for QB2 role in Detroit, impressing in offseason
- Bears' current backups are Tyson Bagent and veteran Case Keenum

According to a recent report, the Chicago Bears could be targeting Detroit Lions backup quarterback Hendon Hooker in a potential trade. The Bears, led by new head coach Ben Johnson, who previously served as the Lions' offensive coordinator, are said to view Hooker as a possible multi-year backup to their starter Caleb Williams.
Hooker, a former third-round pick, is currently battling for the QB2 role in Detroit with Kyle Allen. After losing the backup job to Teddy Bridgewater last season, Hooker has been impressing in the Lions' offseason and making a strong case to reclaim the role. The Bears, meanwhile, have Tyson Bagent and veteran Case Keenum as their current backup options behind Williams.
While Bagent and Keenum offer more experience, Hooker's athleticism and potential upside could make him an intriguing target for the Bears. However, the Lions are unlikely to be eager to trade Hooker to a division rival, as they continue to evaluate the young quarterback's development.
