The big issues I have is roster space.
We're not carrying 5 TEs and the Chiefs really seem to like Bell.
So with Kelce, Gray, Fortson and Bell, is there room for someone like Dulcich?
My argument would be yes, but that it would come at Bell's expense. Fortson is a pure 'move' TE and Gray is something of poor man's Kelce in that I don't know that he's all that useful for sub-packages (he has no standout skill) but has no real obvious weaknesses either. So he's more of a conventional backup.
Bell is really just a blocking TE so like Fortson, he's more of a sub-package guy.
So ultimately one of two things would happen - Dulcich would prove to be a good enough blocker to cost Bell his slot OR just a well-rounded enough player to cost Gray is.
I mean they don't have a ton of capital in Gray. And apart from being a camp legend, he wasn't exactly a massive contributor. I could see them moving on from him if someone came in who shows the tools to be a genuine starting caliber player someday.
I'm just not seeing that with Gray.
