I haven't looked through the 309 or so comments on the thread as thoroughly as I should have. Don't want to be a conspiracy theorist but... We don't actually need Kelce for this first game. You probably need Jones but I get that we're in no rush to sign him. With the longer season and a non-divisional/conference game to start - Andy/Bert view this game is free money. Hell, with the elongated season, they are willing to accept getitng blown out in the season opener in order to further evaluate, negotiate and strategize. They can treat it like a preseason game
Kelce maybe tweaked his knee or actually damaged it. No problem, give us another week to evaluate and strategize. Same with Jones. Andy will find a way to win or learn from it. Nobody is going perfect this season.
