Here is the first update I found on Kmet's new contract (via spotrac).

From the Kmet page:

Current Contract: (Contract dated July 26, 2023)

Cole Kmet signed a 4 year, $50,000,000 contract with the Chicago Bears, including $32,800,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $12,500,000. In 2023, Kmet will earn a base salary of $2,993,000, while carrying a cap hit of $3,760,778.

It looks like none of the year by year breakdown is available right now. I'll chase it down and repost the contract details when available. I suspect he his getting a raise in 2023 as the details on Kmet's earnings for 2023 have not changes from what he was due to get on his rookie deal.

Poles locked up one of the players who needed to be extended today, handing Cole Kmet a 4 year, $50 mill extension, with $32 mill guaranteed. Good to see a homegrown, Chicago guy get a long term deal. Now we'll see who's next.

I agree. I've always been a fan of homegrown Chicago natives succeeding here. Imaging playing for the team you've been rooting for since you were a kid.

Which is why I'm so disappointed that we missed out on Lukas Van Ness. I'm fine w/ Wright, though.

And I'm happy that we signed TE Robert Tonyan. Hopefully he'll do well here.

Very sorry hear that, Alex. If I remember correctly your family has been dealing with serious issues for quite some time now.

I too will be praying for you all during these difficult times. Hang in there, brother.

Speaking of Chicago area natives. We now have on the roster Cole Kmet (Arlington Heights), TE Robert Tonyan (McHenry), LB T.J. Edwards (Lake Villa), LB Jack Sanborn (Lake Zurich), C Doug Kramer (Hinsdale) and K Andre Szmyt (Vernon Hills).

I'm really hoping they all make it to the 53-man roster. That'd be pretty cool.
