Travis Kelce has spent all 12 of his NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs and is widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time. A key piece in three Super Bowl wins, he’s also a seven-time All-Pro and a 10-time Pro Bowler. Following the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kelce admitted he needed time to reflect on his future as he contemplated retirement.

However, less than a month later, he confirmed he’s coming back for the 2025 NFL season. “I’m coming back, for sure,” Kelce told ESPN’s Pat McAfee. “Gonna try and get to the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I got the guys ready for battle. I can’t go out like that!!!!” On Wednesday, the Chiefs sent Kelce a four-word message on social media, sharing their excitement to have him back for another season.

“MORE. Let’s get it,” the Chiefs wrote. MORE.
