I want to start today by saying that I knew Cole Kmet was a fairly polarizing Chicago Bear, but I didn’t think he was this polarizing.

For those who didn’t catch Sunday’s news, Jaguars TE Evan Engram agreed to a contract extension worth $42.5 million dollars over 3 years, equating to an Average Annual Value of $14.16M/Y. And while Evan Engram is 28 years old, now on his second team, and had the leverage of Jacksonville’s franchise tag helping him get a deal done, his $14M+ price tag begs the question — how much is Cole Kmet worth on the open market?
