But it’s over. He is not a serious threat any longer and he’s not getting back to his old self; once you go physically soft as a player- you don’t get hard again. I hope he makes the right decision and hangs it up.
Pruning helps trees grow, and his retirement will hurt in the short term- but will force the offense to develop new plays and players, and broaden Mahomes’ vision.

Yep, dude is simply not worth the cap hit anymore. He's not inspiring anyone either, that much is clear.
If he doesn't hang it up, the Chiefs need to add some void years to his deal and just be willing to kick the can down the road to lower his cap hit, because you're not winning shit with him taking up ~$20 million of your cap for 5 catches and 35 yards a game.
