Reid's entire career he has shown the ability to get yardage out of his TE. If Kelce walks, we'll still get 800+ yards out of the TE position as a whole.
In the meantime, I'd like to see us move more towards a WR oriented offense with a RB that's more capable of breaking longer runs and/or doing more damage in the screen/passing game.
I agree completely with the thesis of the article. Ultimately we've gotten the job done with plodding weapons and minimizing mistakes, but we're underutilizing our most valuable (and expensive) asset in so doing.

If Loveland and Egbuka are the options, I might take the 3rd option: Treveyon Henderson.
If I have learned anything this year, it’s that damn good RB is key to this era of football. Josh Allen had shit at WR and James Cook helped that offense immensely. Saquon changed everything about the Eagles offense.
Spags had no choice but to run single high A LOT in the SB bc of his respect for their running game and it opened up the 1v1 matchup on their first TD. Conversely, Fangio played cover 2 and cover 4 among the highest %.
Aside from LT, RB might be the most beneficial addition you can give Patrick. A RB that can go 50 yards on any carry is gonna make teams pay for playing cover 2 so much. A RB that can make a defender miss in the open field and get 15 is gonna make teams pay for playing cover 2.
They’ve already got Rashee and Worthy. Would also imagine Hollywood comes back too. If they get a vet LT like I think they will, RB might be the biggest option to help Patrick
