Overview
- ESPN's Dan Graziano says Chicago could cut or trade Cole Kmet this offseason, citing a $3.2 million dead charge with $8.4 million in pre–June 1 savings or about $10 million with a post–June 1 designation.
- Over the Cap projects roughly $1.2 million in 2026 cap space for the Bears, making potential savings from Kmet's deal more consequential.
- Since Week 9, Colston Loveland has produced 290 yards and three touchdowns, and he has 31 catches on 44 targets through Week 13 for a 70% rate with Caleb Williams.
- Pro Football Focus gives Loveland a 75.6 overall grade (ninth at tight end) with 13.1 yards per catch and top-tier rookie run-blocking marks.
- Kmet has 231 yards and two scores this season as Loveland consolidates the role, while Chicago's offense ranks eighth in scoring and sixth in total yards through Week 13.
