His numbers this year are pretty good considering the lack of WR production and missing two games. If Rice improves next year and they have better weapons at other WR spots, Kelce can rebound with a big year.

More than we know I think. When Butker got hurt first game last year he wasn’t right most of the season. Trav bent a wheel early. Made it hard for him to do his catch, fake, reverse move. Hopefully he’s getting himself right starting Saturday.

Good.. I want him here as long as possible, but… He was the one talking about it on his podcast… When you bring it up, you are thinking about it.. Next year if he struggles with injuries and getting open I can see him hanging it up..

Of course he's not. Why would the greatest tight end in NFL history retire prematurely? He's still got a few records to break.

Oh. Didn't realize this was a serious question.

You have to admit, he's looked more tired this season than ever, and more frustrated. It did look to me like he was just beat all to hell.

Glad he's coming back, I can't picture the team without him.

Man, next season is going to be so ****ing epic.

We’ll be going for the 3peat.

I mean, if you go back to the original question and answer:

“Do you think about retirement?”

TK: “More than anyone could ever imagine.”

Could mean he’s investing, saving, buying property, etc. if I ran Schwab marketing I’d buy that clip and get Kelce as my spokesman.

Yeah. And how that injury exacerbated the other nicks and dings he had throughout the season.

I really hope last week off healed him up enough and pissed him off plenty for not getting 1K that we get 2019 playoff Kelce the next month or so.

Why would half of the “Best Bundle in the League” retire this early? He still has plenty of years left to do other stuff.

I think he played less than 100% most of the season, still almost had 1,000 yards. Glad he didn't say he's going to retire, but right before a playoff game he's not going to say anything else tbh.

Yards:
Tony had 15,127
Kelce ATM 11,328

Needs 3,800 to pass Tony. Lets say he drops down to 850 yards instead of 1K. That means Kelce should pass Tony in about 4-5 Seasons.

Receptions:
Tony had 1,325
Kelce ATM 907

Needs 418 to pass Tony. He averages about 80+ but lets say he gets 65 a year moving forward. Thats 6-7 years to pass Tony.

TDs:
Gates had 116
Kelce ATM 74

Needs 42 to pass Gates. At 5 a season he would need about 8 more years to pass Gates...This one probably aint happening!


I think REC and Yards could happen and I hope it does!

Am I the only person who glanced at the title and initially misread it as "Kelce not returning" and nearly shit himself?

Smart move by Carroll, Saban and Belichick then

A fair amount of crow should be served to the clowns who thought the man would retire because he had a few bad games statistically and has a relationship in the public eye. Same virgins made dumbass jokes about lacking stamina because he had sex.

Bitches probably pay more attention to Entertainment Tonight than your basic white girl.
