Travis Kelce has definitively squashed any talk about him leaving the Kansas City Chiefs. After weeks of conjecture following the team’s Super Bowl defeat, he unequivocally stated that he won’t be retiring from football. This clarification was shared on The Pat McAfee Show, effectively silencing any rumors regarding his retirement.
Read on to know more details.
Travis Kelce says he’s ‘coming back’ for Chiefs in 2025
After several weeks of anticipation, Travis Kelce has unequivocally declared his intention to rejoin the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2025 NFL season. The renowned tight end made his intentions clear in a text message to Pat McAfee, which was subsequently shared on The Pat McAfee Show. His message read, “I’m definitely coming back.” Kelce expressed his determination to get into peak physical condition and make amends following the team’s Super Bowl defeat. He further stated, “I have a bitter taste in my mouth from how I played in that last game and how I prepared the guys for battle. I can’t end my career like that!!!” (As reported by ESPN)
There has been much discussion about Kelce’s future, especially following the Chiefs’ 40-22 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9. In that match, Kelce managed only four receptions for a modest 39 yards, which fell short of what is expected from such an accomplished player like him. The game marked the end of a testing season during which he recorded career lows in receiving yards (823) and touchdowns (3), except for his rookie year. However, even with these lower statistics, Kelce still led the team in receptions with 97.
For weeks, speculation about my future has been buzzing, and even some of my own words seemed vague. But Chiefs GM Brett Veach had shown faith in me returning earlier this week, stating that our last chat pointed towards playing in 2025. On Thursday, my podcast New Heights, which I host with my brother Jason Kelce, posted a teaser on X: “IT’S TIME FOR YEAR 13,” all but confirming my continuation. In the upcoming episode of our podcast, I plan to delve deeper into my decision.
