I agree. This has gone as far as it's going.

He went hollywood and it's over. It's just over. Taylor should write a song.

man looking back at the highlights in the game and i really hate to say this... he looked shot.

if he wants to return he can - but an insanely reduced figure because otherwise it is hurting this team to keep him here at his current cap figure.

so many whiffed blocks and just so unbelievably slow at the get off. really shocked at what i saw.

**New World Order** · Today, 07:23 AM

Yeah he's definitely not worth the 17 mil or whatever his cap hit is this year

Yep. He was a massive liability last night. Incredibly painful to watch.

His production probably has a lot more to do with age which is unavoidable than conditioning (which is an accusation)

Yep. Kelce and Gronk are the same age and Gronk’s been retired for like four years now.

Been a great run, but he needs to hang it up. We need that cap room.

Time or reinvent this offense around Worthy, Rice and a dynamic RB.

Red Dawg · Today, 08:24 AM

Non-factor against Buff. No man lands in the SB. OL was the big problem, but the guy is 36. 2 mil dead cap if cut. 19 mil hit of kept. He needs to understand that it's time.

kccrow · Today, 08:32 AM

Kelce looked his age last night and for good stretches this season but I'm not about to bag on the guy. I don't think he's out of shape, he's just reached that point where guys slow way down. I think he could give another solid year around 700-800 yards but is he up to another grind? His body has taken a good beating.

Sassy Squatch · Today, 08:34 AM

He'd be an absolutely fantastic 3rd option behind the Rice/Worthy duo but that unfortunately isn't worth nearly 20 million. If he's back it is what it is but we could really use that money to allocate elsewhere.

That isn't worth 19 million.

Worth it or not, are you really going to cut him if he decides he wants to play one more year? He's till better than 90% of the TEs in the league.

Sassy Squatch · Today, 08:48 AM

Oh, absolutely not. You can't cut him. The decision is his alone.

irafreak · Today, 08:52 AM

Yeah You can't cut the greatest tight end of all time. He's been severely underpaid all these years as basically wr 1. He wants to collect checks and play limited snaps, I can't even be mad.

Cheater5 · Today, 08:53 AM

Love him; he’s a three-time SB champion, HOF TE and an obvious Ring of Honor inductee who owns numerous records. No one on the Chiefs will wear #87 again and he is royalty in this city.

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.
