Travis Kelce Announces Next Season Will Be His Last with the Chiefs, Aims for One More Super Bowl…
Kansas City, MO – February 19, 2025
In a stunning announcement that sent shockwaves through the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has confirmed that the 2025 season will be his last in a Chiefs uniform. Speaking in an exclusive interview, Kelce, 35, revealed his decision to step away from the game after one final push for another Super Bowl ring.
“One Last Ride” for a Chiefs Legend
Kelce, who has been a cornerstone of the Chiefs’ dynasty alongside Patrick Mahomes, shared his motivation behind the decision.
“I’ve given everything to this game, to this team, and to this city,” Kelce said. “But after talking with my family, my teammates, and my coaches, I know it’s time. I want to go out on my own terms, and I want to do it by winning one more Super Bowl for Kansas City.”
Kelce’s illustrious career includes three Super Bowl championships, multiple Pro Bowl selections, and the distinction of being one of the most dominant tight ends in NFL history. However, the grind of the game has begun to take its toll, and he admits that retirement has been on his mind for the past couple of seasons.
Chasing One More Ring
Despite his impending retirement, Kelce made it clear that his focus is on delivering one more championship to Kansas City.
“I’ve been blessed to be part of some incredible teams, and I know we still have what it takes to win it all,” he said. “I want my last game in the NFL to be on that Super Bowl stage, lifting that trophy with my brothers.”
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid and quarterback Patrick Mahomes both expressed their support for Kelce’s decision while emphasizing their desire to send him off as a champion.
“He’s the heart and soul of this team,” Mahomes said. “Whatever it takes, we’re going to make sure this last season is special for him.”
What’s Next for Kelce?
As for life after football, Kelce hinted at several potential ventures, including broadcasting, business, and even entertainment. His growing presence in the media—especially through his “New Heights” podcast with his brother Jason Kelce—has opened doors outside of football.
“Retirement doesn’t mean slowing down,” Kelce said with a grin. “I’ve got a lot of things I want to do, but first, we’ve got a season to win.”
With the 2025 season shaping up to be Kelce’s farewell tour, fans in Kansas City and around the league will cherish every moment of his final year. If there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that Travis Kelce knows how to go out on top.
