Former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning gave some advice to Travis Kelce amid rumors that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end is considering retirement.

Peyton Manning made a notable appearance during Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special on Sunday, jokingly imploring the show’s creator Lorne Michaels not to retire. According to an interview he gave while in New York for the momentous show, his words may have had a second target as well: Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Manning hopes Kelce doesn’t make a hasty decision

Manning told E! News that he hopes Kelce takes the time he needs to make a decision about his future, but selfishly hopes the future Hall of Famer returns for one more season.

“I hope he takes some time and doesn’t make a hasty decision,” Manning said. “So the last thing you want to do is say, ‘Okay, I’m going to make a decision now. Take some time. Take a full month. Let some things digest and calm down. Then he will be able to make a better decision.”

“I hope he comes back and plays. It’s fun to watch him, but he has to do what’s best for him.

Trajectory and results matter

Kelce’s Chiefs were crushed by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, ending the franchise’s hopes of a first-ever Super Bowl three-peat. Manning, on the other hand, was able to retire in 2016 after winning it all, when his Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.

It was an ideal opportunity for Manning to ride off into the sunset. The 2015 season was one of the worst of his career on an individual level, but a solid Broncos defense helped him come out on top.

Kansas City is reportedly expecting a decision on Kelce “around March 14,” just days after the start of the new league year. The tight end is owed $11.5 million if he is on the Chiefs’ roster on March 15.
