Fox Sports host Colin Cowherd hopes to rip band-aids to Travis Kelce and The Chiefs down another path.
Kelse said Wednesday that he is pondering his retirement as the offseason begins following the disappointing end of the season.
“[The Chiefs] Cowherd explained on his Fox Sports show “The Herd.”
“This is the perfect time for a clean break. He has a lot of money, lots of options. I think it's one of the wrong basketballs. [and] The football team is that they cling to the end. It's a beautiful break. He's expensive, he's a tight end, this is a good tight end draft. [a] Tight end. ”
Kelse's brother Jason, who retired last year at the age of 36, is now an ESPN analyst, with the two brothers holding a lucrative podcast called “New Heights.”
Kelse certainly has other options available to him on television and other forms of media, but he will have to comfortably abandon his $11.5 million roster bonus until March 14th. It is paired with a $19 million salary for the 2025 season.
Usually players will retire at the beginning of the new league year, so if Kelse decides to cut it, they will likely need to let it know by March 12th.
“I'm hoping to know if I'm playing next year. The three-time Super Bowl champions were three-time Super Bowl champions in the episode “New Heights,” released on Wednesday. I spoke.
“I'm not making crazy decisions, but the biggest thing for now is that I'm just there for my teammates and being there for my coaches, there's a lot of this. I understand that.
Cowhard pointed out that Kelse is expensive and is distracted and possibly distracted by his pop culture celebrities thanks to his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
“He was their primary target. [for the] Over the past three or four years, he's been a very important person,” Cowhard said. “He blocks, he's tough, physical, temperament, but it might be time to stop.
“I'm starting to watch Traviskells over the past seven years. He played another season of NFL football for a playoff game. We're tight as we frequently block the best athletes on the other side of the field. I'm looking for an end.”
Kelce previously took time to decide whether to return to the Chiefs in 2025, and that motivation to play is the biggest part of the thought process.
“I think I can play. It's whether I'm motivated or whether it's the best decision for me, as someone who takes on all the responsibility, as a person, as a person who takes on all the responsibility,” Kelse said.
Kelse is undoubtedly away from his worst season, bringing 97 receptions for 823 yards and three touchdowns, posting back-to-back playoff dads against the Bills and Eagles.
He is the Chiefs' greatest leader ever in receiving yards (12,151) and touchdowns (77).
