Travis Kelce has decided to return for one more season with the Kansas City Chiefs. After losing the last Super Bowl in New Orleans against the Philadelphia Eagles, the tight end doesn’t want to say goodbye with a bittersweet taste.
For that reason, many reports indicate that the player is trying to reach the best physical shape of his career. In fact, during an event a few weeks ago, the veteran himself reportedly acknowledged that he had already lost 25 pounds.
His great teammate, Patrick Mahomes, expressed a similar sentiment during OTAs by pointing out that if Kelce is indeed nearing his final season, it certainly doesn’t seem that way considering the level of commitment he has shown.
Is Travis Kelce retiring from football?
According to a report by Jeremy Fowler, Travis Kelce could retire after the 2025 season with the Kansas City Chiefs. That would line up exactly with the duration of his contract.
“He’s in his mid 30s now. So, this could be his last year. He’s in the last year of his contract. He wants to maximize his potential. This offseason, he’s told people close to him that he has lost 25 pounds.”
