Travis Kelce Makes Decision on Playing for Another Team if He Leaves the Chiefs
Travis Kelce will decide after the season whether to retire or return to the Chiefs, with no plans to join another NFL team, sources say.
- This past week, people close to Travis Kelce said if he plays again it will be with the Kansas City Chiefs, closing the door to other teams.
- At 36 years old and at season's end, Travis Kelce is finishing a two-year, $34.25 million contract and will become an unrestricted free agent facing a choice to return or retire.
- Ian Rapoport, NFL Network insider, said on Sunday morning, `My understanding is, if he was gonna play, it wouldn't be for anyone else besides the Chiefs,` and Kelce will take time after the season to decide.
- As of Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs face a $48 million cap shortfall, while Kelce's retirement combined with Jawaan Taylor's release would clear $31 Million in obligations.
- As it stands near the end of Week 17, the Chiefs own the Nos. 9 and 40 overall draft picks, which reporters say could fuel a rebuild to better support Patrick Mahomes.
