Could we improve our offense EVEN MORE?

Yeah, not everybody will age like Tony G. And frankly, there's a possibility we just don't have the money to keep him. It's crazy to me that Kelce is actually older than Ertz and I think the same age as Gronk; dude just got a late start; 24 yr old rookie who lost his first season to injury.

I was a fan of Kittle in the draft a few years back and while it's damn rare for someone to just explode forward like he did after next to no college productivity, it's the kind of thing that our scouting department has a pretty good eye for.

I would trust them to find a good developmental TE who could be a premier TE2 for a year or 2 and at least give us something to consider as Kelce nears the end of his current deal.

If Kelce has the kind of late career that Tony G had, he could play another 7 or 8 years at a high level and that would put him in legitimate HoF consideration, especially if he gets some All Pro nods and a title or two in there. I'd hate to walk away from that if we can avoid it.

But he's the only real key cog in this offense who isn't just entering his prime years so if nothing else, a plan has to be considered. I don't think we need to reach to find one but like I said, if the right guy slips a bit, he'd be worth grabbing.
