Our current WR costs.

But the problem with your argument is that you expect Toney to play 17 games. And you expect Skyy to improve his production rate by a factor of 4. That's about 120 targets to get to 80 catches. When's the last time we saw that happen? Not just in KC, I mean ever? Never mind that you can't compare him to C. Watson. The guy's 6'5" and runs like a deer. Skyy is neither.

I believe Skyy was compared to Julian Edelman even though they have different backgrounds...There are probably many other examples that are much better but Julian Edelman went from 235 yards to over 1050. Granted he played more games but huge part of increase was him just getting better and more of an opportunity. Edelman was a 7th round pick and college QB so it may have taken him longer than what it may take Skyy to really establish himself as a receiver.

The Chiefs had a top 3 offensive line that outplayed even the Eagles line in the Super Bowl. They have a great QB in Mahomes and Kelce who was in essence to top 1-5 receiver/TE in the game last year. Best TE for sure and not many receivers ahead of him.

If it wasn't about roster spots and more about cap space, Chiefs and even some other teams that have a great TE or receiver and need depth should have signed Nelson Agholor and Julio Jones.

Neither is great or even very good but both significantly better than the stats they have put up the past 1-2 years. Mac Jones and Patriots offensive line setup Agholor for failure. Bucs had bad offensive line/no run game and poor roster construction around Brady. Jones isn't old Julio but a little better than his stats indicate. Chiefs probably pass on him simply because Toney is injury prone and Jones is also injury prone.

When you have a great QB and a great offensive line and outstanding TE, you clearly don't need a number 1 receiver or even 2 strong #2's.

Chiefs have also shown they can succeed while playing more than one TE at once.
