Travis Kelce has an important decision to make this NFL offseason as the Kansas City Chiefs legend chooses if he wants to continue his professional football career.

However, there’s a solid chance that the all-time great tight end continues his career after Kansas City’s struggles in 2025. The Chiefs missed the postseason for just the second time in Kelce’s 13-year career.

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, Travis Kelce is “motivated” to return for NFL Year 14. The four-time All-Pro pass catcher is a looming free agent for Kansas City despite spending his entire career with the AFC West franchise.

The Chiefs finished third place in their division, which is abnormal for the team under head coach Andy Reid.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Kelce have built an incredible bond for the squad over the years. They’ve played key roles in all three Super Bowl titles for the franchise during the last seven years.
However, Mahomes is coming off a serious knee injury in 2025. Kelce has also taken a serious toll on his body over his decade-plus long career, so that could play a factor in his decision.

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce and his pop star fiancée Taylor Swift have their wedding scheduled for June 13 in Rhode Island. The celebrity couple will certainly have a busy summer even if Kelce decides to continue his career.

Kansas City could opt to move on from Kelce given his age and that the Chiefs struggled in the passing game. Kelce finished the 2025 season with just 76 receptions and over 800 yards, but some of the tight end’s slow production came as a result of Mahomes’ injury.
