Franchise Succession

the room, before and after

Noah inherited the Kansas City Chiefs TE room from Travis Kelce (2013–2025), and holds it as the most recent the corpus records.

The room is reconstructed from arrival order among durable members (≥4 seasons with the club) at the player’s position group — a lineage by arrival, not a week-by-week depth chart. Distinct from the league-wide .
