Chief-star Travis Kelce commented on his future again after the lost Super Bowl, but since then it has become calm about the Tight End. However, this should not be the case too long, after all, there is a deadline for the decision whether Kelce wants to continue his NFL career or not.
In addition to processing the defeat, the future for Travis Kelce was also an issue in the Super Bowl episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which Kelce operates together with brother Jason.
In conversation with his brother, who ended his career last year, Kelce left his future open: “I know that everyone wants to know whether I will play next year and at the moment I just put everything on the long bench. I will let everything open To come up with what I can.
However, the “long bank” will have to come to an end in a few weeks. As reported, among other things, “The Athletic”, there is an internal deadline for Kelce. The chiefs therefore want to have a decision by March 14th.
The reason is as simple as it is understandable: On March 15, Kelce was a bonus payment of $ 11.5 million. A sum that the Kansas City Chiefs probably does not want to pay despite the great connection if Kelce then ended his career.
NFL: Kelce prepared for career ends
If the 35-year-old decided to play for another year in the NFL, he would be well prepared. For years he has also built up a strong brand away from the square. In addition to the extremely successful podcast, Kelce also performs as a host in TV shows.
The offers would certainly be even more with a career end, so Kelce would not have to fear boredom or poverty. In addition, he would have time for his relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift, who has not had a running stadium tour for the first time this year.
Nevertheless, Kelce does not seem to have made a decision for himself, because he repeatedly emphasized how much football means to him. But now we know: Kelce has not had too much time to make his choice.
