I think Kelce would do us a solid and restructure anyway if we asked him.

The bulk of his money next season is a roster bonus. It's the easiest thing in the world to bump those down the road with an extension or void years or whatever.
Yeah, if we need the money, it won't be hard to get. I just worry a bit about pushing money down the road when we know that PM's getting more expensive and GK and Karlaftis need to be addressed.
Our cap is REALLY lean right now. There's just very very little bad money on it. And we're still tight against it every season. And with the 2022 draft class starting to come into their $$$ seasons, that's gonna just get harder for us.
My preference really would be that a guy gets paid what he earns via production rather than we spread it.
But it's Kelce. His value is so much beyond what he does during the 18 weeks of the regular season. Just being the guy that walks alongside Mahomes as they come out of the tunnel is the kind of shit that's worth its weight in gold.
I really do wonder how life looks for PM when he doesn't have such a respected and valuable wingman anymore. Not from a productivity standpoint, but just from a team dynamics approach.
Leadership wise, that's gonna be a heck of a change.
