Can we convert it to Tesco value club card points ? 

Lidl have a rewards points system now too so there's that option...

Kelce is one of my favorites and I am glad he's back. Have to wonder what they're going to do with that contract though. 

There are dummy years added in 2023-2025 to spread out the prorated bonus (according to OTC ... unless that hasn't been updated yet).  If it has been his cap hit is only $6.5M in 2022.

great news...but this is the year to draft his replacement. 

If only we had drafted that one guy last year that played C for the best team in college football in 2020, that won the Rimington Trophy, was unanimous all-american and 1st team all SEC. He would have already had 1 year of NFL under his belt. What was his name again?

Wasn't that the plan for Dickerson originally?

Love Kelsey but highest paid center at his age… was mulling retiring?  Uh. 

Love the Legend. I would **** about the $$, but his play...and that Super Bowl speech... I give him free reign forever.

Who?  

Thankfully he didn't retire to pursue singing. Yikes.

Meh. It’s all the same. At least it’s not a ouch of dummy years strapped to a contract where they’re paying him in cap hits for the next three years.

I'd rather see him do the SB HT show than what they've thrown out there the last handful of years.  Unless we somehow make the SB.  But still, he could play in it and be the HT show.  That's be brilliant.

Love how he announced he's coming back.  Working on that keg Sirianni sent over.  Way to go, Nick!  Is he the Ted Lasso of the NFL?

 

Great singer

It's a little easier to accept when it's a day 2 pick.  I just didn't want to see us use one of our 1sts (even when we had 3) on a player that likely wouldn't see the field in 2022. We'll have to see how this season goes, but it isn't necessarily Kelce's last season. Kelce's replacement might be sitting for 2 or 3 more years for all we know.

Nah, Stoutland will coach him up to help out along the line. Not like we don't have injury issues. Although last year wasn't as bad as it has been

Versatility and depth on the O line is great, especially with the injuries in recent years. Dickerson was supposed to be Kelce's replacement but was also billed as versatile to play guard. Due to injury he stepped in at LG and they like that combo with Mailata. And then comes Jurgens and they really like him so now they've rebuilt the O line to get young. And then old man Lane Johnson.

I'm sure he'll get some work in at guard at practice, but we are deep there. I don't see him beating out Seumalo, Dickerson, Herbig, or Driscoll for playing time there.

Should be easy to beat out Driscoll. He can't stay on the field for a quarter let alone a whole game

If you know people ... like Tonya Harding.

A little late to this thread, but I'm probably in the minority in thinking that giving Kelce the 1 yr/$14M deal was a bad move. Why? A few reasons (all of which also apply to stupidly giving Fletcher Cox the same sort of deal):

1. We're not a legitimate SB contender this year. Why waste $14M  (even on a Future HOFer) on a guy who isn't going to be here when we are at that level? 

2. Some may say, "Well, maybe he doesn't retire after this year and keeps playing!" Fair enough, and if he had the kind of year in 2022 that he had in 2021, and we're legitimate SB contenders, I'm all for bringing him back in 2023. But if that happens, then the logic behind taking Jurgens - who can't and won't play OG - is out the window.

3. If he does retire after this year, with the June 1st designation, he'll have a $9.675M dead money charge in 2023 and $11.5M charge in 2024.  Yeah, I know the cap increases every year and makes these numbers less of a percentage of the total cap. Still, had they not given him the new deal, there would only be dead money charges of about $14M spread out over 2 years. That $8M total could buy some good FAs.
