Panthers Eye Kmet Trade from Bears

The Carolina Panthers are rumored to be eyeing Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet in a potential trade, especially if the Bears move a defensive player to free up cap space. Kmet, whose contract was restructured for flexibility, offers proven pass-catching skills despite a modest 2023 season. His addition could pair explosively with rookie star Tetairoa McMillan and quarterback Bryce Young. But don’t count on it — Bears GM Ryan Poles insists Kmet is a core piece, and trading him after June 1 would carry dead cap penalties. The Panthers may push, but Chicago seems set to hold firm.
