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.
