Agreed, even if he shows no more progress and is just static from last year for the rest of his career

Looks like he gets most of the money early. Will look better as the seasons go on, cap wise

Most of that 15 m will probably be used extending Mooney or Claypool after the season

Yeah....don't know about this. I mean what are they basing this extension on? Is he going to be seeing the ball alot this season? Catching a lot of tds in Redzone? Helping Fields development? He's young? If it's strictly about the potential of those things then ok, or him being a core player then ok. I get it. But are they thinking he can be a top ten TE?...IDK...
I guess my thinking is, that who deserves a big extension on a side of a ball that was historically low producing? There are questions that need to be answered at EVERY single position on the offense(outside of maybe RB). To me everyone on offense has something to prove right now...
I will play the Switzerland card and neither be for nor against this, but if it works out I'll take the credit like I knew it was always going to work. Just call me Remy...lol...I KID...

I'm fine with it. He'll never be the Kelce/Kittle/Andrews type TE. But if he is a 50 catch, 500-600 yards, 6-10 TD guy plus decent blocker, then it's a fair contract for that role. His yards could suffer this year with the addition of DJ and Mooney/Claypool healthy, but he should continue to be a big RZ threat. He had some good rapport with Fields so keeping that together could yield some nice results.

Imagine thinking locking down (who you hope is) your franchise QB to a long term deal is a bad thing.
You're such a pants pisser.

I don't understand the fake ignore thing. You were on ignore for like 7-8 months or however long it was and i let you and the clown crew n3g every post i made until i finally took you off ignore so i can n3g you back. Is it just to make yourself feel good like a child would do or am i just that much in your head?

Kmet is getting market price. TE Evan Engram's extension was $42.5/3yrs; $14/per. Engram is Move/U TE more a receiving TE who's a fair blocker. U-TE tend to make more $, but Kmet's '22 receiving stats were similar to Engram's, especially Yards-Per-Reception (Kmet: 10.9 y/r, Engram: 10.5 y/r). So Kmet is really a duo threat TE, which arguably more important to the Bears wide zone run and RPO scheme than straight Move-TE. Kmet can exploit both a LB and a Nickel defender.
Plus, Evan is 29 and Kmet is 24.
Kmet is an important piece to this offense. Kmet is the only TE the Bears have drafted in 5 years... so they didn't have a rookie-contract TE to replace him. Now they have time to draft one.
With the pickup of TE Tonyan, I see Gustey using more 2-TE sets, and with their heavy stretch plays, having one of those 2 slip out for a pass will be tough to defend.

Hard worker, healthy, sturdy and front loaded.
You can back load guys you plan to cut later, this is a long term safety blanket for Fields in a physical blocker that can make you respect the pass.
I'd say overpay if it wasn't front loaded. It's set up to be a value in our peak.

I wouldn't be surprised if Poles resigns two of those three, before the season ends.
