US EditionTravis Kelce Plans to Decide on Retirement After the Season, Wants to Give Chiefs Time to Prepare
- On Friday, four-time All-Pro Travis Kelce said he will wait until after the season to decide on retirement, aiming to notify the Kansas City Chiefs by early March to prepare.
- Jason Kelce, who retired after 13 seasons with the Eagles, said he appreciated the timing of his retirement with the new league year beginning March 11 and the April draft upcoming.
- Kelce remains one of the NFL's most productive tight ends this season, with only Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals tight end , ahead in yards.
- Kelce said he wants to give the Chiefs a good opportunity, whether he comes back or not, as their 5-5 record outside the AFC playoff picture could influence his decision.
- Training, milestones and personal preferences about a farewell tour frame Kelce's potential offseason plans; he trained in Fort Lauderdale with Tony Villani and broke the Chiefs' career total touchdowns record last week.
