Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.Rumors have indicated that the Chicago Bears could look to move on from tight end Cole Kmet. With the rookie season that Colston Loveland had, especially his connection with young quarterback Caleb Williams, there might not be much of a reason to have Kmet on the roster.That's almost tough to say because of how well he's played through a lot of his career, but that's just the harsh reality of a business in the NFL.Trading Kmet would likely require the Bears to get creative, as he's a good player, but not great. Still, there should be some interest, and in a recent trade idea, he has an opportunity to land with a decent team, playing with Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.Chicago receives: 2026 sixth-round pick, 2027 second-round pickCincinnati receives: KmetKmet fits that billing and presents star quarterback Joe Burrow with another reliable target in the passing game. The Bears tight end could be viewed as an immediate upgrade over Gesicki on a similar contract. Hes a reliable target in the short and intermediate passing games and could help JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins find separation down the field, Ethan Hutton of SI wrote.As a team, Kmet would be in a better situation if he were on the Bears. However, offensively, the Bengals have a lot of threats, so he could fit in well with an offense that can put up points.It'll be a different situation than what he's currently in, but he'd still be in a rather decent spot.More NFL news:Raiders trade idea shuts down Cowboys biggest offseason issue and Dallas would get a first-round pick in returnBills and Raiders trade proposal would send one of Josh Allens weapons to Fernando MendozaBrowns giving Shedeur Sanders grace after first season didnt go as plannedRobert Griffin III reveals who he thinks should start for Browns between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun WatsonBrowns Todd Monken told Shedeur Sanders exactly what he wants in his starting quarterbackBrowns trade proposal sends Myles Garrett out of Cleveland for return that would get people fired
