Travis Kelce has broken his silence on his NFL (National Football League) future as he reveals the deadline for his Kansas City Chiefs’ decision.
According to New York Post, the 36-year-old on Friday, November 21, opened up on retirement plans and shared whether he will return to the Chiefs in the next season or not.
He said after final practice for the weekend game, “Seeing my brother go through it and seeing—I don’t know—how the league works ... I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity, whether I come back or not, and vice versa.”
Kelce’s elder brother, Jason Kelce, retired in March this year after 13 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
“It’s one of those things where I’d like to make that decision before they have draft picks and free agency opens and they can go out there and fill the roster appropriately. All of that will be after the season. I won’t think about it until then. I think what you’re seeing is I’m a product of my environment right now. Everything is predicated off of how the offensive line does and how the guys around us do and, obviously, the chemistry I and [Patrick Mahomes] have been able to accumulate over the years,” he added.
The 10-time Pro Bowler has been working hard on his speed and agility during the offseason, following two relatively low seasons.
Kelce, who is in his 13th NFL season, is having a good year, as he is on track to reach 1,000 receiving yards. He is also leading the Chiefs in receptions (50), touchdowns (4), and yards (631).
But despite Kelce’s incredible performance, the Chiefs currently have a 5-5 record and are on the verge of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014.
