Travis Kelce has undoubtedly been at the center of one of the most talked-about storylines of this NFL offseason. The potential retirement of the Kansas City Chiefs star has been a major topic of conversation, with everyone waiting to see what the future holds. Greg Olsen—someone who knows the tight end position firsthand—made his stance on the matter very clear.

The former Panthers TE—who also spent time with the Bears and Seahawks—spoke in USA Today Sports about Kelce’s situation, stating that the Chiefs star holds his future in his own hands, whether that means retiring at the end of this season or choosing to keep playing.

“He’s got the world at his fingertips,” Olsen said started. “I think he’s one of the unique guys that’s gonna be able to control how he leaves the game and when. And that’s not the reality for most guys.”

He also added: “He was highly productive last year. I think we’ve kind of gotten spoiled that we think every year he’s gonna have twelve-hundred yards and 10 touchdowns. And I don’t think people realize just how hard that is. I wouldn’t put a limit on anything he does.

“Could he play for one more year and call it? Sure. Could he play for two or three more years? Sure. I don’t know where he stands. I know he’s obviously preparing and training hard. I wouldn’t be surprised with any path that he takes, and he certainly has a lot of options.
