Kelce considers retirement after Super Bowl defeat
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce walks off the field after a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles during the NFL Super Bowl 59 game in New Orleans, February 9, 2025

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS tight end Travis Kelce has said he is contemplating retirement following last weekend’s Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 35-year-old has one year left on his contract with the Chiefs but said he will take time to decide on his future after the disappointment of Kansas City’s 40-22 loss to Philadelphia, which denied them an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title.

“I know everybody wants to know whether I’m playing next year and, right now, I’m just kicking everything down the road,” Kelce told the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, the former Eagles centre who retired last March.
