Travis Kelce Considers Retirement After Super Bowl Loss

Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs' star tight end, is contemplating retirement following a Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, marking the first such defeat in his career. At 35, Kelce has been open about the physical and mental toll of the NFL schedule, especially with the Chiefs' frequent appearances in AFC Championships and Super Bowls. His contract includes a significant $11.5 million roster bonus due on March 14, but Kelce remains non-committal about his future, needing time to ensure any decision is wholehearted. Despite a lower performance this season, Kelce's career boasts three Super Bowl wins and 10 Pro Bowl selections, indicating a likely future Hall of Fame induction. His off-field interests, like acting, a podcast with his brother Jason, and his relationship with Taylor Swift, contribute to his considerations. The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes await his decision as the new league year approaches.
