So this guy got 1 target and 1 reception in Week 1. Even with that week of low usage, he still is 5th amongst TEs in receptions and yards, 3rd for 1st Downs, and has the highest Catch Rate amongst the top 20 TEs this season.  

He is 8th in AAV for his contract amongst TEs, only 500K more than Friermuth. 

It feels like the Bears got a very solid deal with Kmet who is signed thru 2027. His cap hit is fixed, so every year it is going to become an even better deal.

To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan when drafted.  I had other positions higher in my priorities. He turned into a gem.

I think back, I really liked Claypool over Kmet, lmao. 

Kmet was expected to go in the 2nd or 3rd, NFL.com had him rated as a "Will eventually be plus starter". His comp was Tyler Higbee.

Good timing on this thread, 2 TDs, 5 receptions, 70 yards AND served as the Long Snapper.

Poles was so smart extending him for a team friendly contract. He's 8th in cost but in  the top 5 TEs in the league. Signed thru 2027.

Yeah, and he is such a great locker room presence. Great extension by Poles.
