He believes it\u2019s time for the team to welcome young and explosive talent into the tight end roles. He argued that a player\u2019s evaluation must be based on what they can offer in the future, not solely on what they have accomplished in the past. Assessing Kelce\u2019s 2025 performance, Tannenbaum suggested that the NFL star is past his prime and that the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nfl\/teams\/kansas-city\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Chiefs;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chiefs<\/a> should make the right decision by letting him go.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Tannenbaum talks about Travis Kelce<\/p>\n<p>Current ESPN analyst and former NY Jets general manager Tannenbaum recently revealed why he believes the Chiefs should let <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/nfl\/players\/26686\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Kelce;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kelce<\/a> go and welcome new talent.
