Travis Kelce Confirms Return for 2025 Season

Travis Kelce, tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, confirmed he will return for the 2025 NFL season after a disappointing performance in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles, where he recorded just four receptions for 39 yards. Despite a career-low in several statistics during the past season, Kelce expressed his desire to improve and return to peak performance, stating he wants to shake off the 'bad taste' from his last game. Chiefs general manager Brett Veach revealed that Kelce had been battling a significant illness leading up to the Super Bowl, which may have impacted his performance. While fans have mixed feelings about his return, some are excited, believing he still has the potential to contribute effectively. Kelce's contract includes an $11.5 million roster bonus and $4.5 million in base pay, indicating a significant financial commitment from the team. As he approaches 36, questions about his longevity and potential retirement linger, but for now, Kelce is focused on his comeback.
