Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce may have dropped a subtle hint about his future in football during a recent episode of his New Heights podcast with brother Jason.
While talking about the team’s future — especially following quarterback **Patrick Mahomes’ season-ending knee injury — Kelce referred to the franchise simply as “the Chiefs” rather than saying “we,” a choice of words that sparked speculation he could be considering retirement after this season. Fans and analysts picked up on the phrasing as possibly signaling that Kelce is thinking about stepping away from the game rather than committing to the next year.
Jason — who retired from the NFL in 2024 — has publicly advised his brother to finish out the season and then take time to reflect before making any formal decision about retirement, suggesting Kelce should savor the final games and then decide what’s next.
