Arrr, ye scoundrels! 'Tis be true that the Chicago Bears have signed young rascal Cole Kmet to a four-year deal worth a plunderous $50 million! They be keepin' this fine lad, one of their finest in-house talents, in their treasure chest for many a season to come!
The Chicago Bears and tight end Cole Kmet have reached an agreement on a four-year, $50 million contract extension through 2027. This deal is a reward for Kmet's impressive performance last season, where he had 50 receptions for 544 yards and seven touchdowns. Prior to that, he had only caught two scoring passes in his first two years in the league. In his career, Kmet has accumulated 138 catches for 1,399 yards.In an interview, Kmet admitted that he looked like an idiot during his rookie year but is proud of the progress he has made since then. The general manager, Ryan Poles, praised Kmet as a key member of the team and expressed his excitement for the future, believing that Kmet's best football is yet to come.
Kmet, who grew up near Soldier Field in Lake Barrington, Illinois, played college football at Notre Dame before being drafted by the Bears in the second round in 2020. He is the first player to sign a multi-year extension under Poles' tenure.
Kmet revealed that negotiations for the extension began during the offseason and intensified in the past week. He received the news of the agreement just 20 minutes before the start of training camp.
Overall, Kmet expressed his joy and gratitude for the opportunity to continue his career with the Bears and is looking forward to achieving playoff appearances and Super Bowl victories in the future.
