Chiefs’ Travis Kelce indicates he never strongly considering retirement
Travis Kelce has made the decision to continue his NFL career after facing uncertainty following the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The veteran tight end expressed his determination to get back to the mountaintop and prove himself once again in the upcoming season.
In a text message to Pat McAfee, Kelce confirmed his return, stating, “I’m coming back for sure. Gonna try to get into the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop.” He acknowledged his disappointment with his performance in the last game and the need to redeem himself and his team.
Despite briefly contemplating retirement, Kelce ultimately decided that he still has a lot to prove in the league and loves the game too much to walk away. He emphasized that the decision was not a tough one for him as he still feels he can contribute at a high level.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Kelce expressed his desire to win another Super Bowl with the Chiefs. He views anything less than a championship as a failure and is determined to help his team reach the ultimate goal once again.
While Kelce fell short of the 1,000-yard receiving mark last season, he remains focused on the present and helping the Chiefs succeed in the upcoming season. He acknowledged that his contract situation will be addressed after the 2025 season but reiterated his commitment to the Chiefs organization and his desire to stay with the team.
As Kelce prepares for the upcoming season, his main focus is on winning a championship and cementing his legacy as one of the best tight ends in the league. With his dedication, determination, and love for the game, there is no doubt that Kelce will continue to make a significant impact on the field for the Chiefs.
