Kelce, even now, is a top 5 TE. He's just no longer the equivalent of a #1WR. Kelce retiring (if he does) leaves another hole. Now, maybe Gray can give you 80% of current Kelce with Rice and Worthy fully integrated, and that'll play.
But no, Kelce is not a liability. That's nonsense.

Yeah I don’t get the bagging on kelce. He’s not the same TE he used to be. That doesn’t mean he isn’t still very good. Hes still a boulder to take down when the balls in his hands. And his superpower is reading the defense and finding a spot to sit and He’s not gonna do much when the only pass you have time for is a quick te screen that the defense is sitting on. I’m even wondering how much peak kelce helps last night.
Continue relegating him to a smaller role. Getting rashee back helps big time. Get OL help so he can be a weapon in scramble drill. Get an OL so our TEs don’t have to keep chipping and we can get more guys out on routes. He will still be great but we have to accept that he plays a secondary role. I do hope he adjusts his contract because he’s probably not worth that anymore. But that’s the only small reason if any I wouldn’t want him back
