Chiefs GM reignites Travis Kelce retirement fears with hard truth

Chiefs GM Brett Veach has reignited fan fears that Travis Kelce could soon retire.

The тιԍнт end teased the possibility of ending his career following the loss in the Super Bowl and admitted the grind of NFL life had driven him ‘crazy’ last season.

However, to the joy of Chiefs fans, it was later confirmed that the 35-year-old would return for a 13th season.

He revealed that he’ll deal with the 2026 season later ‘down the road’ but now fans are fearing that Kelce could be ready to hang up his cleats after Veach’s comments. 

Speaking ESPN, Veach said: ‘We’ve all seen it over the last few years. There are periods throughout the season where you’re like, ‘This might be it.’ 

‘But when the games are the most important and the lights are the brightest, he finds it somewhere.’

Kelce signed a two-year, $34.25million contract – with $17m guaranteed – back in April 2024.

There is still one year left on that deal in Kansas City, where Kelce has played his entire career since being selected in the third round of the 2013 draft.

The 35-year-old is already a three-time Super Bowl champion but the Chiefs failed in their bid for a historic three-peat.

Reflecting on Kelce’s career success, Veach said: ‘The great ones know how to find it. They know where it’s buried, and they know how to access it. 

‘And they can’t access it at that age week in and week out, but when they need it, they know how to find it.’ 

While Kelce is a fan favorite among Chiefs fans – and Swifties across the globe – the stats show that the тιԍнт end is on the decline. 

His 823 yards recorded last season is the lowest in his career, for a full season, and in the recent Super Bowl he managed four receptions for 39 yards as the Chiefs were humiliated.

The 35-year-old has, however, been enjoying his offseason alongside girlfriend Taylor Swift and recently attended an event together for the first time as a couple.

At the тιԍнт End University event, Swift and Kelce were clearly locked in on each other, including sharing some PDA in front of cameras.

Swift has attended 23 NFL games since she started dating Kelce, all while having touring commitments.

That number should skyrocket as Kelce’s time in the NFL may be dwindling with the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer on his arm.
