▪︎ Will the two KELCE brothers retire ? Too early to tell ? Should other players retire ealier ?

Travis can take his dipshit user GF with him...
Let me guess....
Taylor Swift is woke.
And she's got more money and fame than Travis Kelce would ever dream of having, but of course in your miserable, bigoted mind, Taylor Swift is using Travis Kelce!
The amount of stupid that pours out of your mouth or fingers on a daily basis is almost impressive.

And once again, allow me to actually steer this conversation away from nicker's idiotic ramblings to the topic.
It's hard to tell someone to give up something they love doing, but I'll tell you this, if I was one of those athletes who was talented enough to play another sport professionally, I'd pick that other sport in a second. Football or baseball? I'm taking that guaranteed money and playing baseball for 12-15 years, then being content that I will know where I am when I'm 60.

It's hard to walk away from football, in general, because it's such an exclusive sport. 10-12 year old travel baseball players play more games in a weekend than most high school kids get in a season and more games in a season than most high school kids get in their whole life. Only two teams per class or division get to play 14-15 games in a season.
Way too many high school kids try to play small college football. My freshman year at a D3 school, we had 60 freshman. Half didn't come back after the first semester and a quarter didn't make it to their sophomore year.
Look no further than the current state of college football where guys are able to make a small career bouncing around two and three schools over six, seven, eight, yes, eight seasons.
Most NFL Players hang on as long as possible because they'll never make as much money doing something else, though in the digital/social media age that might start to change. I'm sure the biggest thing the guys miss is the locker room and camaraderie.

Absolutely true, and it made the story about the ex-Lions WR (whose name is escaping me) so very interesting to me.
He wasn't a superstar, but a guy who played for a decent amount of years, and he and his wife lived on a $5000 a month budget, while he was probably making upwards of a million a year. He was a NFL player driving a Mazda 3.
Guy was brilliant. I'd like to think if I played in the NFL I would have done the same.
Edit: The player's name was Ryan Broyles.

And look for the good items those that are often covered upfront and often guaranteed like signing bonuses, roster bonus, workout bonus, incentives. The salaries are "nice" but the others are "ca$h in your wallet guaranteed money" regardless of injuries, cuts, whatever.
