Chicago Bears urged to trade TE Cole Kmet despite earlier commitment
The Chicago Bears surprised many around the league when they took tight end Colston Loveland with the tenth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It was a surprise, of course, because they already had Cole Kmet on the roster, a proven veteran who had been a productive pass catcher for them for years.
The pick worked out, though. Loveland led the Bears in receptions (58) and receiving yards (713). His success led many to wonder if Chicago would look to trade Kmet, who saw his targets and production drop in 2025.
However, the 2026 NFL Draft came and went and the Bears did not move Kmet. They, though, select another tight end, Sam Roush, in the third round.
Chicago Bears once again urged to trade Cole Kmet
In a recent article posted by Bleacher Report, the Bears were urged to move Kmet during the season in an effort to get an extra pick in the stacked 2027 NFL Draft:
“The restructure also sets up Kmet with a $15.4 million cap hit in 2027, making him a very likely cap casualty next offseason. Teams seeking tight end help should see if the Bears are willing to make him available a year early.
“Kmet has been a valuable pass-catching tight end for the Bears and has topped 500 receiving yards in three of his six seasons. He only turned 27 in March and should still have plenty of long-term value to teams other than Chicago.
“The Bears, though, have their new TE1 in 2025 first-round pick Colston Loveland. They also used a third-round pick on Stanford tight end Sam Roush over the weekend.”
The fact of the matter is that, despite what the Bears told Kmet this off-season about not wanting to trade him, his role on the team is not going to get any larger. Loveland is undeniably TE1 and Roush was a top-100 pick. In short, Kmet’s days in Chicago are numbered.
He will almost assuredly be a cap casualty next year, and the Bears could get a pick back for him in a trade if they were to move him before next off-season.
