I agree with you about Kelce. But I didn't bring him up. Iowahawkeyechief did. I was just pointing out that the only way you can classify him as "taking a hometown discount" is if you compare him to WR contracts. Otherwise, he was paid a top rate for his position just like the other players he brought up.
