Sure, next few years the KC D might not be as elite, but the offense is likely to be better. Lamar is no longer on a rookie contract and that will bite at some point.

Given that Lamar's healthy skill position group right now is rookie Zay Flowers, old man OBJr., Isiah Likely, and Gus Edwards, I think it's plausible the answer to "when can he" is a later date with improved options. And it's not like the Ravens need a bunch of cap space to find them. Almost all of their best players are homegrown, and they've been the best drafting organization in the NFL for over two decades now.
Also, Kelce and Reid aren't going to be around forever. I think the Chiefs will be contenders for every minute that Patrick Mahomes is around, but this isn't some once-in-a-lifetime window for the Ravens to capitalize on a stacked Ravens/barren Chiefs.
