Overpay. How will Poles bring this team long term success now? The blueprint is destroyed. Doomed:

I like how he said there was no timetable yesterday, but if it were him he'd want to get it done early.

Is it? Seems like what most expected after Engram’s deal.

Extension means locked in for 5 years right? So basically a 5 year $51 million dollar deal?

Oh, I didn't really mean like "huge money", it's a huge signing. A huge event for this season. One domino down, now we get to see how things go with an edge rusher, Jaylon Johnson, Darnell Mooney, and Chase Claypool.

Great value.
Will also only be 28 when his deal expires. Could potentially retire a bear if he keeps improving.

Like this - tight ends really don't start to peak until they're in their late 20s and Cole's floor is actually pretty high already.
He's got a high % to outperform his contract imo.

Is dongbears alive? Surprised I haven’t been @d and falsely accused of calling Kmet a bust.

A slight steal at only 12.5Mil/year. Means the Bears are about 15Mil away from the spending floor between now and March.

According to REMY, unless you get 800 yards and 8 TD's a year you are a useless TE.
There are like 2 TE's in the league who aren't useless to Remy

It will be a great value walmart contract if Kmet takes another step. If he's as good as the last year then its still a good contract.
Since he's 24, I'm guessing his potential isn't maxed.

And there was a thread yesterday about how he was going to hold out this year. I think Cole has shown his potential and has continued to grow. I like the signing and think getting it done now was smart for the Bears as he could see improved numbers with Moore, Mooney and Claypool pulling attention to the outside and leaving the middle and seams more open for him to take advantage of. I also like that it removes the possibility of having a hole at TE we have to fill next offseason as I think Poles will have his work cut out for him still on the defensive side of the ball that he doesn't need additional holes opening that require attention.

He'll never be the #1 option like a Kelce, Andrews, Kittle and others so he really doesn't need to put up crazy stats to be worth this deal. He can be anywhere around 600 yds and 6-7 TD's and i'm good with it.
Would love to see him turn into a #1 option type but just don't see it.

15m...just enough to sign both Yannick and Houston.

He isn't that type of player, tho. Kelce / Kittle are more WR's playing TE. Both were piss poor blockers coming into the NFL and developed that part of their game.
Always thought it was unfair to compare any TE, not just cold cement, to those unicorns.
