The Kansas City Chiefs had their eyes set on a three-peat, but a 40-22 beatdown at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 put those plans on ice. The Chiefs now have plenty of questions to answer this offseason, and the status of star tight end Travis Kelce is chief among them.
Kelce will turn 36 years old during the 2025 season and has flirted with the possibility of retirement as his play has declined slightly over the past few seasons. However, he will be returning to the Chiefs and playing in the 2025 season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

“Travis Kelce does in fact plan to be back,” Rapoport said. “His contract for a little more than $17 million should stand in place. … He wants to play. He’s ready to play. They believe he has a lot left.”
Kelce had a big playoff game in the Divisional Round against the Houston Texans, but mustered just six catches for 58 yards combined in the AFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl. During the regular season, he finished with 823 yards and three touchdowns on 97 catches.
