The Chiefs do not have an issue at the starting tight end position, thanks to the presence of Travis Kelce. They did, however, have a depth issue. The team did sign former Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Bell to a one-year contract this offseason, and they further added to the depth by selecting Noah Gray out of Duke in the fifth-round.
With the signing and drafting of tight ends, that does not seem to be great news for Nick Keizer.
Keizer spent the first year of his NFL career on the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad until he signed on with the Chiefs in 2019. The former tight end of Grand Valley State did log playing time in all 16 games this past season, three of which were starts. All in all, Keizer logged six receptions for 63 yards on nine targets.
With the addition of Bell and Gray, it is hard to envision the Chiefs keeping all four tight ends. Based on the fact that the Chiefs just signed Bell and they traded draft capital to select Gray, Keizer is the odd man out.
