Chiefs Expect Travis Kelce to Return for 2025 Season

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach expressed optimism about tight end Travis Kelce's return for the 2025 season, noting that Kelce was 'fired up' to play again after the team's Super Bowl LIX loss. Kelce, who is under contract for one more season, has not made a definitive announcement regarding his future, but he emphasized the importance of taking time to consider his decision post-Super Bowl. Despite speculation about retirement, Veach and coach Andy Reid indicated they expect Kelce to continue his career, highlighting his passion for football and his significant contributions to the team. Kelce's performance in the last season showed a decline, yet he remains a key target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs are positioned to welcome him back, alleviating offseason concerns about his potential retirement. As Kelce approaches his 36th birthday, the franchise looks forward to another season with one of its star players.
