The Kansas City Chiefs are getting ready for their 6th AFC championship in six years in the Patrick Mahomes era. They have gone to this game 6 years in a row that they have had the future hall of famer at quarterback. This is the first time however, that they are going to go on the road for this game against a very hungry Baltimore Ravens team.
If they lose this game however, there could be major changes coming in the off season for this Chiefs team. There have been many rumors circulating that Travis Kelce may be retiring following this year as he and his brother Jason Kelce could retire together and enter the hall of fame together which would be a legendary moment in NFL history.
Kelce is 34 years old and has accomplished just about everything you can accomplish at his position in NFL history. While he probably will not go down as the undisputed best tight end in the history of the league, he can definitely be argued as the best. He has the Super Bowls already and he is now almost the best weapon in post season history just behind Jerry Rice.
Kansas City Chiefs May Say Goodbye To Travis Kelce This Off Season
Kelce has reveled now that he plans to stay with the Chiefs for at least one more year ahead of his divisional round win saying:
“I love (playing with the Chiefs),” Kelce said. “We still have success, come in with the right mindset, and I just love the challenge that it gives me every single day to try and be at my best.
“I have no desire to stop anytime soon.”
While that is convincing, there have now been a few reports to come out saying that he may retire this off season and start to focus on a bunch of his other business opportunities he has built for himself, and maybe hang out with his superstar girlfriend Taylor Swift. While Travis may not want to stop anytime soon, he is getting much older and won’t be able to do the same things. He may get on the field one day and not be the legend hall of famer that he used to be.
Jason And Travis Kelce Could Retire Together
There have already been numerous reports about Jason Kelce calling it a career after a disappointing ending to the Philadelphia Eagles season this past year. The brothers run a podcast together, and they have been very close throughout their entire careers.
It would be a beautiful NFL moment if the brothers retired together and entered the hall of fame together as two of the best at their positions in the history of the league. While this seems less likely with what Travis had said, the reports of his retirement are still coming out as Michelle Tafoya has reported that it is a sure thing now. She was quoted saying:
“I think Travis Kelce is retiring after this season, like his brother,” she said.
While Travis has tried to put these rumors to bed, there is always going to be speculation when you are an older player who has shown decline. Kelce and the Chiefs are not focused on that at all as they have their biggest game coming this Sunday. If they lose this game however, Travis will definitely be questioned about his future all off season.
