Travis Kelce Says He'd Return 'in a Heartbeat' If Healthy, Keeps NFL Decision Open

Andy Reid says the veteran tight end can still play, with his contract now expired.

Overview

  • On his New Heights podcast, Kelce said he would play another season “in a heartbeat” if his body heals and he feels able to handle a full campaign.
  • He told listeners he has held exit meetings, the Chiefs “know where I stand right now,” and he plans a few weeks of rest before deciding.
  • Kelce has not announced retirement, saying he will consult family and team leadership, with some reporting he aims to choose by early March.
  • Head coach Andy Reid reiterated “Trav can still play” and stressed there is time before any decision or potential new contract is addressed.
  • Media insiders say broadcasters would court Kelce with offers in the $10–$20 million range if he retires, as the Chiefs regroup from a 6–11 season without injured QB Patrick Mahomes.
