It feels like Chiefs Kingdom has been talking about replacing Travis Kelce for years, and now that’s becoming accurate. No matter what your feelings are on Noah Gray, he can’t be viewed as the long-term replacement for Travis Kelce. Gray’s 21 catches for 178 yards in 2025 aren’t going to clear the threshold for a TE1. The Chiefs found themselves in a familiar place once again, with Travis Kelce leading the team in all major receiving categories, even at age 36.
Another issue facing the Chiefs offense is the lack of depth at receiver and the lack of size.
