The Kansas City Chiefs have veteran tight end Travis Kelce for one more season, but we know that No. 87 is on the back nine of his career.

So, the 2026 season could very well be his last, and the search for his replacement would commence, but what if the Chiefs were proactive and got Kelce's replacement this year?

We have seen some mock drafts have the Chiefs taking Kenyon Sadiq, which would be a fun move, but here comes another one, and the AFC would hate it.

Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton has named the Chiefs as a potential landing spot for Kyle Pitts.

“The Chiefs could pair Kelce with Pitts, who would take the franchise tight-end baton from the future Hall of Famer,” Moton wrote. “In this scenario, Kelce would likely see a reduced role, which would preserve him for the season.

“Early in the previous campaign, head coach Andy Reid discussed managing Kelce's snap count. With Pitts, he can do that and still get production out of the position in his offense.”

Chiefs getting Pitts horror scenario for AFC

Getting Patrick Mahomes a young stud tight end to play with Kelce in 2026, before taking over in 2027, is a scenario the AFC hopes doesn't happen.

Pitts is coming off a season that saw him post 928 yards and 5 TDs from 88 receptions with the Atlanta Falcons, and if he brings that sort of production to Kansas City, goodness me, that's terrifying.

Kelce will be able to impart his wisdom to Pitts this season and prepare Kyle to take over next season.

A move like this could set the Chiefs up for the next five or so years at tight end.

Going from a future Hall of Famer to Pitts just seems unfair.
