But Veach quickly put those rumors to rest during the NFL Scouting Combine, revealing that Kelce still has the hunger to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s got one year left on his contract, and I know he\u2019s still fired up. There\u2019s no timeline for him to decide, but as far as we\u2019re concerned, we\u2019re planning to have him back and ready to roll.\u201d\u00a0Veach told the reporters<\/p>\n<h2>Travis Kelce Is All Set to Make a Comeback After Super Bowl Setback<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gamenood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/z6354926243971_d1ac7d659af6f00c45c9445a6e858ced.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gamenood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/z6354926243971_d1ac7d659af6f00c45c9445a6e858ced.jpg 489w, https:\/\/gamenood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/z6354926243971_d1ac7d659af6f00c45c9445a6e858ced-209x300.jpg 209w\" alt=\"Travis Kelce\u2019s Future: Chiefs GM Brett Veach Confirms He\u2019s \u201cFired Up\u201d for 2025 Season\" width=\"489\" height=\"703\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Travis is also pumped up to make a comeback. Speaking on his \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast earlier this month, Kelce admitted he\u2019s taking time to figure things out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI owe it to my team to give 100%.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelce\u2019s 2024 season was solid, but by his high standards, it wasn\u2019t his best. He notched 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns in 16 regular-season games \u2014 his lowest numbers since his rookie year. The Super Bowl itself was a quiet night for the veteran, with just four receptions for 39 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, Kelce still showed flashes of brilliance, including a standout performance against the Houston Texans in the divisional round, racking up 117 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s at Stake for the Chiefs?<\/h2>\n<p>Financially, Kelce\u2019s decision carries weight. He has a $19.8 million cap hit for 2025, with an $11.5 million roster bonus due on March 15. If he retires before then, the Chiefs could save $17.25 million in cap space.<\/p>\n<p>But money aside, the Chiefs know Kelce\u2019s value goes far beyond stats. His leadership and chemistry with\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0are crucial as they gear up for another championship run.<\/p>\n<p>For now, it seems all signs point to Kelce running it back for another season \u2014 but with the March 15 roster bonus deadline looming, his final decision could come sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>Also read \u2013\u00a0He shouldn\u2019t: Rob Gronkowski\u2019s possible NFL return leaves fans with mixed emotions and strong opinions<\/p>\n<p>Stay updated with the latest\u00a0sports\u00a0news and find out\u00a0how to watch the ICC Champions Trophy live\u00a0in\u00a0Canada\u00a0and the\u00a0USA.
