I don't see any chance that he gets 80+ catches as Kendall would be be the 4th-5th targeted guy in the Chiefs offense?
Kelce
Hill/Watkins
Hunt/Wright
I'm gonna use the Patriots stats from last season as an example (most completions last year in NFL):
Gronk 69 catches (classic Gronk) on 106 targets
Cooks 65 catches on 115 targets
Amendola 61 catches on 86 targets
White 56 catches on 72 targets
Hogan 34 catches on 59 targets
I think if Kendall signs with the Chiefs it's for two reasons:
1. He wants to be on a offense with other weapons around him, I think more often than not Kendall has been on teams with not many other receiving threats (Titans/Bears).
2. He wants to be on a winning team- 6 years into his career he has had a winning record once (9-7 missed playoffs in 2016).
