But despite playing for double-digits worth of years for the same franchise, Kelsay was unable to make a single playoff appearance, something he regrets but won't "dwell on."
“... obviously it is something that is frustrating,” Kelsay said, via BuffaloBills.com. ”Something that we did not achieve as a team. Obviously the goal was to make the playoffs and to contend for a championship. In my 10 years here we were unable to do that. It is a tough pill to swallow, but it is one that I am willing to swallow and move on."
Kelsay, who has been far from an impact player as of late but has been a through-and-through Bill all along, focused on the positive takeaways.
“I think there is more to it in this business," he said. "I have learned a lot of lessons. I have met a lot of people and established a lot of relationships that will last a lifetime. So I will not really dwell on (never making the playoffs). To move forward and like I said, start the next chapter of my life. I look forward to doing that.”
