He and Swift were born in the same year, 1989, so they share some of those same experiences from their generation, which is another reason they seem just perfect for each other.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if Kelce does retire after this season, it appears that he already has a gig waiting for him. He hosts a popular podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce, of course, called \u201cNew Heights,\u201d so he\u2019s a natural on the microphone and on camera, and that would be part of his new gig.<\/p>\n<p>While Swift is celebrating the release of her \u201cLife of a Showgirl\u201d album, Kelce is still knee-deep in the Kansas City Chiefs\u2018 football season. The team has a record of\u00a02-2 heading into their Week 5 matchup\u00a0against the\u00a0Jacksonville Jags on Monday, October 6, and last weekend, they beat out\u00a0the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens and with a 37-20 win. So, if Kelce leaves after this season, at least one executive thinks he knows where he should land.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kansas City Chiefs Star Travis Kelce May Have a New Gig<\/h2>\n<p>If Kelce says goodbye to the NFL after this season, ESPN wants him. According to ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro, the network would definitely hire him in his post-Chiefs world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019d love to talk to Travis when he\u2019s ready,\u201d told the Daily Mail. \u201cOne of our priorities at ESPN is audience expansion and that really means attracting a younger audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Travis and Taylor Swift] are able to do that and they\u2019ve been great for the sport\u2026great for the game of football, great for the NFL, and they\u2019ve been great for the enterprises that carry the NFL. We\u2019re all excited to see what that\u2019s like going forward,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t a surprise, because Kelce\u2019s brother Jason, a former Eagles player, is employed by ESPN. Jason inked a three-year, $24 million contract with ESPN after retiring in 2023. It would totally make sense that Kelce would join the network, too.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Travis Kelce of the Chiefs Gives Back<\/h2>\n<p>When Kelce isn\u2019t on the field or having fun with Swift, he\u2019s giving back. His annual Kelce Car Jam auto show took place Friday, September 26, at Knuckleheads in Kansas City. Ahead of the appearance, he talked it up on his New Heights podcast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Kelce Car Jam is back, baby. It\u2019s this Friday,\u201d Kelce said. \u201cI\u2019m going to break out some new old schools that I got. We got a 1990 Jeep Wrangler with the wood grain on the side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that \u201cProceeds benefit Eighty-Seven and Running, my foundation that helps out underserved youth in both the Kansas City area and back home in\u2026 the Cleveland surrounding area, two cities that I absolutely love. So, please show up. It\u2019s going to be a blast.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TikTok user Natalie Dutton\u00a0posted a video of Kelce at the event, and his mom was there, too. \u201cI appreciate the support you guys bring,\u201d he said. \u201cThe stuff that they are doing over there at the Ignition Lab and Operation Breakthrough never (ceases) to amaze me more and more every single year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Kelce give back is one more reason for the Chiefs to be happy that he\u2019s in Kansas City. Hopefully he has a good birthday on Sunday and then is ready to take on the Jags on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Anne Erickson is an award-winning reporter for Heavy Sports covering the NFL, NBA and college football.
