Peyton Manning doesn’t want Travis Kelce to fumble this decision.

The retired quarterback had some advice for Kelce as he considers hanging up his NFL career.

“I hope he takes some time,” Peyton Manning told E! News at SNL 50: The Anniversary Special, adding that he hopes he “doesn’t make a rushed decision.”

Peyton talked about emotions still being high coming out of the Super Bowl and the devasting loss to the Eagles.

“So, the last thing you want to do is say ‘OK, I’m going to make a decision now,‘” adding, “Take some time. Take a full month. Let some things digest and calm down.‘

What do you think Travis will do/should do?
