Yeah but the elite TEs get plenty of endorsements. Gronk never touched his NFL salary while he was playing. He lived off of his endorsement money. He talked about it in his book "“It’s Good to be Gronk."
Just goes to show how important it is to manage money properly.
While I would have liked Kelce to continue to play for cheap I totally get it. Kelce earned his salary from all the years of being underpaid. Glad he will retire a Chief. [Reply]
This seems a bigger deal than I first thought. I was like duh. But maybe he actually could get a brinks truck from other avenues and instead wants to commit to this dynasty.
Dude is gonna retire with more rings than anyone not named Brady isn't he? Well... and Mahomes of course. [Reply]
