Let's make a couple of assumptions from the start about the tight end position for the Kansas City Chiefs. First, Travis Kelce feels like he will return for a 14th NFL season, so let's go with the idea that he'll be entrenched, once again, as a favorite target of Patrick Mahomes as TE1. Second, for our purposes, let's lean into life after Noah Gray.
Remember, all signs point toward a return for Kelce than the opposite direction. His discussion of next year's chances or roster with a personal pronoun is a good tell. Constant rumors about his continued enthusiasm and passion for the game.
