More than enough, really, given that we also have a GOAT tight end that plays out of the slot.
What the team needs are dynamic speedsters or Juju-style possession receivers.
I completely understand what kccrow is saying: just give Andy Reid the talent, and he'll make it work. Which, he will.
But we know Reid has types, and wants types. He passed on DK Metcalf so we could draft Mecole Hardman as a potential X, given the legal soup that Tyreek was sinking into at the time.
Reid wants guys that play the roles he has for the offense. If you can't make that happen for him, he will make do and you always have Mahomes. But I don't think JSN is the dude the team needs him to be.

Yeah I'm with you. To be fair to kccrow he's big on Scott and Hyatt as well I think and they DO seem like far more likely role players. If JJSS leaves and JSN comes in i'd argue he's basically a much better version (not a perfect comp I know and maybe I'm wrong) i.e. a zone killer in the short-intermediate. So potentially, like JJSS, he takes some of the load off of Kelce. Which is the other way to argue it I suppose - maybe he helps prolong Kelce rather than detract from him? But in this scenatio it's not good news for Moore, imo, and I say that as someone who thought Skyy had a chance to be more than a pure slot guy.
