Stop acting like he would get a bunch less snaps playing here. He would get as many or maybe even more snaps and he'd still be a legitimate weapon especially in the red zone.

It’s not about snap counts dumbass. It’s about targets. Cook is a receiving TE. He wants targets when he IS on the field. Not blocking assignments.
The Chiefs ask their TE2 to block more than anything. He’s not going to see anywhere near the same amount of targets as a TE2 in this offense.
Cook had 60 targets last year.
Keizer and Yelder
combined for 20 in an offense that throws the ball more.
Cook is obviously going to see more targets as the #1 receiving TE in the Chargers offense as opposed to TE2 behind Kelce. Are you seriously arguing that he’s not?
The Chiefs don’t use 12 personnel enough to expect them to sign a guy like Cook that is basically a big WR. It’s really simple, but of course your dumbass makes it difficult.
