reesebobby 5,663 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 There's only so many new deals to go around. Especially with the new salary cap numbers. And his age. We really need to look hard at a new version of Kelce in the draft. Hate to see him go and I hope they can work something out, but that's gonna be a tough one.

Adamixoye 604 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Patrick and Travis legitimately seem like really great friends on and off the field. I'm sure Travis knows he has it great here. We're going to lose great players eventually. But I'd like to think we'll find a way to keep Travis for a while. I really hope he retires a Chief.

xen 1,010,220 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 He's got 2 years left. I would think we could bridge the gap a little but dont see much urgency to do anything right now. Yeesh kittle got almost double Kelce's total contract value. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Kelce could get pretty close to Tony G numbers if he sticks it out in KC for less money. Guess we will find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sith13 1,746 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I doubt it unless they want to clear some cap space. You don't give a new deal to a 30-year old guy with micro-fracture surgery in his past. I think they look to extend him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Agree with Sith. A two year extension would be the maximum and maybe Kelce would go for it at a fair rate out of playing with Mahomes and the chance to win it all again. The Chiefs have passed on TE in the last two drafts that were pretty rich in prospects and have absolutely no one that can replace Kelce even at a lower level. Gotta address that soon. oldtimer and sith13 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto 723 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Reading that its at least a 4 year add on to his 2 years left. Meaning he will be in KC at least 6 more years! Not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Well he will be 36 then? Need to get a TE to groom and back him up next 2 or 3 years from now for sure. One now would be great to learn for 3 or 4 years then sign him to an extension as Kelce declines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer 8,686 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 looking forward to seeing the numbers and when it will make him cutable if he declines rapidly or a new TE shows some stardom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 You all think he will last another 10 years in the NFL and end up playing as long as Tony and some other TEs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think injuries wil catch up with him..he runs with soo much abandon he's taking more hits . TG was just a catch guy his YAC I dont believe were much ..but my memory is fading so I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balto 723 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Looks like a 4 year @ $57M extension So basically giving him a 6 year deal with a $13.2M average. Not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Kelce's new contract won't do anything to this or next years cap number. So LDT's money is still on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefmanzada 466 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Think we need to come to terms that Kelce is a one of a kind TE. HoF bound. Will pass TG#88 as greatest Chiefs TE if he hasn't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had almost 1200 yards one season with Damon Huard at the helm. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
