Chiefs' Travis Kelce Plans Final NFL Season in 2025

Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, is entering the final year of his contract in the 2025 NFL season and has confirmed he will play at least through that year, dismissing rumors of immediate retirement. Despite briefly considering retirement, Kelce is focused on the upcoming season and has not yet decided about his future beyond 2025, emphasizing a year-by-year approach and leaving the decision for early 2026. Having achieved three Super Bowl rings and 10 Pro Bowls, Kelce aims to leave the league on a high note, potentially with another championship, as he values his long-standing relationship with the Chiefs, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and coach Andy Reid. He also addressed his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, clarifying that they are simply enjoying life without seeking attention. Kelce’s decision-making process will consider his physical and mental state after the 2025 season, and he maintains a strong connection with the Chiefs organization, indicating he does not see himself playing elsewhere. The Chiefs will look to rebound from their recent Super Bowl loss and contend in a tough AFC, with Kelce playing a key role in their offense.
