Travis Kelce drops major NFL retirement decision as Kansas City Chiefs legend prepares for Eagles game
As the 10-time Pro Bowl tight end prepares for the upcoming Super Bowl, Travis Kelce gave a hint about his retirement choice.
There have been rumors that Kelce would quit football after the 2024 NFL season.
On Sunday, February 9, Kelce and the Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.
There has been conjecture that the 12-year NFL veteran may put up his boots once the season concludes because he had a poor season by his standards.
Speaking to reporters on Super Bowl Opening Night in New Orleans, Kelce seemed unconvinced about retiring following the game.
“I hope to be playing football. When asked where he aspired to be in three years, Kelce responded, “I love doing this, I love coming into work every day.”

“I think I have a lot of football talent left in me. We’ll wait and see.
“I am aware that I have been preparing myself for future prospects. With football’s short lifespan, it has always been the aim.
“You must figure out how to enter a different field of work. In my free time, I’ve been doing that.
“But for the most part, I plan on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football.”
One of Kelce’s favorite off-field endeavors has been a recurrent role in the horror series Grotesquerie on FX during the off-season.
In the follow-up to the Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore, he will make a brief appearance.
Kelce is the face of AmazonPrime’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? campaign and has also hosted game shows.
Additionally, he has made appearances in advertisements for Pepsi, State Farm, and Subway, among other businesses.
Since he started dating music legend Taylor Swift in the summer of 2023, Kelce’s fame has exploded.
His brother Jason Kelce, who retired from the NFL last year, co-hosts his weekly New Heights podcast, which he hosts throughout the year.
Kelce recorded career-lows in receiving yards (823) and touchdowns (3) this season, excluding his rookie campaign.
Nevertheless, the Chiefs finished 15-2 in the AFC and earned a first-round playoff bye as the top seed.
In Kansas City’s AFCC championship victory, Kelce just finished a lackluster two-catch for 19-yard performance against the Buffalo Bills.
However, in the team’s triumph over the Houston Texans in the AFC Divisional Round, he did have seven receptions for 117 yards and a score.
Kelce, who is 35 years old, is still capable of delivering for the Patrick Mahomesand Company.
