A bold message from a Bears tight end has fans fired up heading into training camp
We’re just weeks away from the start of Bears training camp, and you can feel it—something’s brewing. New coaching staff, new weapons, and a new vision have the city buzzing. But it wasn’t a play or a press conference that had fans fired up this week—it was a marker, a helmet, and a message from a Bears star that said everything fans needed to hear. Love him or hate him, one thing’s clear: he bleeds navy and orange.
Much has been made about Cole Kmet this offseason, especially after the Bears drafted Colston Loveland at No. 10 overall. The noise? It's been constant. Salary cap talk, roster battles, future projections.

But sometimes, all it takes is one savage autograph to remind fans exactly why a player has their hearts.

One Bears fan shared on Reddit that he ran into Kmet and got his helmet signed—sounds routine, right? Except this wasn’t your average autograph. Kmet wrote: ‘F the Packers’ right across the side. That was all it took. Reddit lit up with reactions. And the rivalry? Officially reignited.
One fan wrote:
‘Hate the Packers, GO BEARS’
Another chimed in with full emotional investment:
‘If he ever leaves Chicago I will literally cry’
And another user added a more practical take:
‘I just hope Poles does not look at his salary cap hit a year from now with Loveland and determines that it’s too much. Good football player, great character and leader.’
With Ben Johnson stepping in and preaching physical football and tight end-friendly formations, don’t count Kmet out. The man’s not just fighting for reps—he’s fighting for the city. And judging by the fan reaction, Chicago’s still in his corner.
