The Kansas City Chiefs may have fallen short in Super Bowl LIX, but one thing is certain—Travis Kelce isn’t done yet.
Despite ongoing speculation about his retirement plans, the 35-year-old superstar tight end seems fired up and ready to return for another season, according to Chiefs general manager Brett Veach. At the NFL Combine on Tuesday, Veach made it clear that, as far as he knows, Kelce has no plans to walk away from football just yet.
"We had exit interviews, and Travis seemed fired up to get back at it," Veach shared.
With Kelce entering the final year of his contract, many had questioned whether the eight-time Pro Bowler would call it quits after another grueling season. But if his recent attitude is any indication, he’s not done making history.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid was also asked about Kelce’s future, but he wasn’t ready to confirm anything beyond what’s already known.
"Right now, the most important thing is for Travis to take some time off and relax," Reid told reporters.
Kelce himself has been cautious about making any sudden moves. Since the Super Bowl loss, he’s admitted he won’t be making any quick decisions about his future. But with the Chiefs front office confident in his return, it looks like he’s gearing up for at least one more season in Kansas City.
If Kelce were to retire today, his career stats would already be legendary:
- 1,400 receptions (just shy of the milestone)
- 12,151 yards
- 77 touchdowns
But there’s no doubt he’d love to add to those numbers, especially with Patrick Mahomes still leading the charge. Another Super Bowl run with the Chiefs in 2025? It’s looking more possible than ever.
While Kelce’s football future is being discussed, fans can’t help but wonder about another major milestone—his relationship with Taylor Swift.
The two have been inseparable since their romance went public in 2023, with Swift attending multiple Chiefs games and Kelce jetting around the world to support her Eras Tour.
With 2025 shaping up to be a defining year for Kelce, could a proposal to Swift be part of his plans?
- They’ve already met each other’s families.
- They’ve traveled the world together.
- Swift’s closest friends have hinted that the relationship is serious.
If Kelce is truly thinking about his long-term future, football isn’t the only decision he’ll have to make. Fans are buzzing with speculation—if he sticks around for one last season in the NFL, could 2025 also be the year he pops the question to Taylor?
While retirement is off the table for now, Kelce’s 2025 season could be one for the ages—both on and off the field.
Will he win another Super Bowl?
Will he propose to Swift?
Or will he shock the world with an unexpected decision?
One thing is certain—Travis Kelce is not done making headlines.
