Travis Kelce's expected retirement decision has been revealed.
The superstar Kansas City Chiefs tight end is expected to extend his career playing a 14th season for the Chiefs, according to NFL Network and a report from ESPN.
Uncertainty loomed around Kelce's future with the NFL following last season, as he publicly pondered his football career.
In an episode of Travis and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, released in January, Kelce discussed his impending decision, saying he still had "love for the game."
"There's a lot of love for the game that's still there and I don't think I'll ever lose that," Travis Kelce said. "It's a tough thing to navigate, but at the same time, if my body can heal up and rest up, and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat."
Kelce said at the time he was focused on evaluating his body in order to make that decision.
"I think right now, it's just finding that answer and seeing how the body feels after this game and kinda when it all settles down," he said.
The likely decision to return bolsters an already extraordinary career for the tight end, who was drafted by Kansas City as the 63rd overall pick in the third round of the 2013 NFL draft.
Kelce went on to find success with the team, notching 11 straight Pro-Bowl appearances from 2015 to 2025. His career highlights include more than 13,000 receiving yards and 82 touchdowns.
Kelce has boosted Kansas City in each of the team's three recent Super Bowl seasons.
The Chiefs' 2025 season concluded with a final six wins and 11 losses, as the team missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2014 season.
