Keenum's decision to re-sign with the Bears on a two-year deal after spending the 2025 campaign as the team's No. 3 option behind Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent relegates him to a depth role for the foreseeable future, and potentially the remainder of the 38-year-old's career. If called upon to step into the starting lineup, though, Keenum still has the ability to pilot an offense like coach Ben Johnson's, especially behind an O-line as strong as Chicago's.
