INDIANAPOLIS — Kansas City Chiefs’ seasoned tight end, Travis Kelce, is enthusiastic about continuing his playing career beyond the past season, as stated by General Manager Brett Veach at the NFL combine on Tuesday.
Veach highlighted that Kelce has one year remaining on his current contract and has assured the team of his return. “We’re thrilled to welcome him back,” Veach commented.
The 35-year-old athlete faced a tough decision on whether to retire or pursue another season amidst his illustrious career. As a four-time All-Pro, Kelce openly expressed his passion for the game on multiple occasions leading up to the Super Bowl. Alongside his football career, he has been exploring media opportunities, including a potential career in television and co-hosting a popular podcast with his brother, Jason Kelce.
Renowned coach Andy Reid shared that he has had discussions with Kelce regarding his future plans. Reid’s advice to Kelce was to take a break and unwind. “Get out of town and relax. … I think that’s what he’s doing,” Reid remarked, hinting at Kelce’s current respite from the sport.
