BREAKING: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Not Planning To Finish Career Elsewhere

Three weeks ago, veteran Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was undecided on his future once his contract expires at the end of the coming season.

He claimed that he couldn’t see himself “ever playing anywhere else,” but with things up in the air still, he resolved to “deal with that down the road.” In an appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast a week ago, Kelce set the record straight.

When asked by former NFL linebacker Will Compton if he could see himself in another uniform, Kelce told the crew, “At this point, no. Maybe if you would’ve asked me that maybe like a contract or two ago, I’d have been like, you know, I’d keep it open.”

He went on, waxing poetic about his affinity for Kansas City.

Highlighting the connections he’s developed within the community, his relationship with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whom he referred to as “family,” head coach Andy Reid‘s role as a mentor in his life, Kelce told the crew how he’ll always have a home in Kansas City.

The three-time Super Bowl champion is not ignorant of what the future holds, though.

Heading into a contract year during which he will turn 36 years old, Kelce seems fully aware that, at some point, a business decision will be made by the Chiefs.

While Kelce still has the ability to contribute to the Kansas City offense, putting up career lows in yardage and touchdowns in 2024 — not including his single-snap rookie season — continued a trend of decreasing production from his 2023 campaign.

Regardless of his contributions in the upcoming season, the Chiefs are going to have to start thinking long-term and investing young at the position.

The team recently extended Noah Gray, who picked up a good amount of slack last year, while fourth-round rookie Jared Wiley saw one target in seven games before sitting out the rest of the season with a torn ACL.

With the writing beginning to appear on the wall, Kelce’s certainly made himself no stranger to life after football.

With his own New Heights podcast that he hosts with his retired brother, Jason Kelce, an appearance on Saturday Night Live, acting credits in television shows like Moonbase 8 and Grotesquerie, and a soon-to-be-seen role in the long-awaited Happy Gilmore sequel, it’s hard to imagine Kelce disappearing from the spotlight any time soon.

Whatever his future holds, it seems it won’t include him sporting a helmet with anything but an arrowhead on it.
