The Bears are keeping around one of their top offensive contributors.
Chicago and tight end Cole Kmet have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $50 million with $32.8 million guaranteed, according to ESPN.
The deal also includes $20 million in new first-year cash.
A second-round pick in the 2020 draft, Kmet has started every game for Chicago in the last two seasons. In 2022, he caught 50 passes for 544 yards with a team-leading seven touchdowns. He was on the field for 94 percent of Chicago’s offensive snaps.
He’ll now continue to be a key weapon as the Bears look to further Justin Fields’ development in 2023 and beyond.
