If Chesson and Kemp don't drastically improve this year, the Chiefs are back to 2 decent wide receivers, one that hasn't proven he can stay healthy.
That seems like a big risk to me for a guy with one quality year.

Conley has had an odd/tough tenure in KC. Dorsey was enamoured by his measurables, and traded up for him partly based on measurables but also because of a run on receivers in that draft.
Maclin and Kelce dominated touches along with Charles and one knock on Conley that has seemed to follow him to the pros is a limited/unpolished route tree. Have we seen this guy run anything other than slants/curls/fade-streak?
The deep ball attention has now been garnered by Hill, and prior to injury Conley appeared to fill the role of possession receiver despite measurables and college production reflecting that of a playmaker.
Maybe Dorsey can get Conley back at a reduced price if Veach wants to go another direction?
I don’t dislike Conley, but in no way am I enamoured with him. If forced to keep one of him or Wilson, I keep Wilson.
