A ring would be the icing on the cake. I don't think he's a 1st ballot guy, but if he has 2-3 more seasons like the last few, yes, he's a HOFer. [Reply]
I'm still calling it too soon to tell. He's had the 1st half of a HOF career. If he packages a 2nd half like the 1st, he's first ballot. Part of being a HOF player is sustained excellence over a career with a few exceptions but he's "done the work" needed so far. [Reply]
Per Joel Corry, cap analyst and CBS Sports contributor, Kelce is due a nice bonus of $375,000 if he reaches 1,200 receiving yards on the year. He's already at 1,131 with two games to go that the Chiefs need to win. That means the starters are not only likely to play in Week 17 but also that the team cannot afford to simply coast to season's end. They're still in the hunt for the No. 2 seed for a first-round bye, but that means they must win out.
Corry also mentions that any bonus for Kelce is doubled if the Chiefs qualify for the postseason which means that bonus hits $750K instead if Kelce simply averages 35 yards per game from here on out. Kelce's lowest output of this entire seasons is 6 catches for 44 yards against the Denver Broncos the first time around. [Reply]

And this is when its good to be drinking buddies with the QB [Reply]
Depends what the backside of his career looks like and how long his peak lasts. Also if the Chiefs win a bowl that would likely get him in right now. [Reply]
