"My take on Travis Kelce has been this is the perfect time for a clean break," Cowherd said. "He's got tons of money, lots of options and I think one of the mistakes basketball/football teams do is they cling to the end."

That’s one point Kelce made on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast when discussing whether he might retire. Kelce, 35, gave a long hug to Mahomes on the sideline late in the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, and fans thought it was a football farewell.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce admitted to a lapse in leadership during Super Bowl LIX, saying Wednesday on his podcast that he made poor decisions early on and failed to help teammates find momentum.
