Travis Kelce will definitely be back to the Chiefs of Kansas City next season, according to Pat McAfee of ESPN.
Although he strongly hinted that the triple super bowl winner was his source for this information, McAfee claimed that he was told through SMS: 'My dog ​​!!! I will definitely come back.
“I'm going to try to reach the best shape, I went out of season this season and go back to the mountain top,” McAfee's mysterious source continued and wrote curiously in the first person. 'I have a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and how I prepared the boys for the fight. I can't go out like that !!!! '
Kelce managed only four receptions in the heavy defeat against the Eagles and also dropped two passes.
The 35-year-old was without obligation about his player after the loss of Super Bowl from his team for the Eagles and said at his subsequent new Heights-Podcast that he would “take some time to find out.”
But if he is still the schedule of Kansas City on 15 March, he will receive a $ 12.5 million schedule bonus according to Spotrac. That figure would come in addition to the $ 4.5 million to basic salary that he will receive in 2025.

McAfee, who knows Kelce, claimed that a source told him that the Chiefs star returns
If Kelce retired – or was cut by the team – it would save the Chiefs $ 17 million in cap -space.
And if Kelce chooses to hang his shoe plates, he is expected to inform the leaders about that decision before the bonus starts.
The athletics reported earlier that the Chiefs want to know if Kelce will play around March 14 or will retire – the day before the sum would be granted to the player.
That date is also about five weeks before the NFL design – where the Chiefs could find a tight end of the groom behind him.
In 2024, Kelce finished fifth in the tight ends with 823 receiving yards, although that was totally lowest since his second season in 2014.
The tight end this season also only moved in three touchdowns and was quiet in Super Bowl Lix, and caught four passes for 39 yards in the 40-22 loss of his team.
The latest indications, however, are that he will continue to play, as revealed by Dianna Russini of the Athletic earlier this week.
Speaking about the rich demands -show, Russini said that, from conversations she has had, there is 'absolutely a feeling' that Kelce will continue to play.
