Kelce Set to Play at Least One More Season

0:00On this March 5th, here's what's making entertainment headlines. Travis Kelsey looks set to play at least one more season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 36-year-old tight-end has faced retirement talk for months, but ESPN reporter Nate Taylor, who's covered the team since 2018, says, all signs point to a return. So ever, stays are you. Taylor shared this on a Wednesday radio spot on 96.5, the fan. He dismissed worries about the team's roster plans influencing Kelsey's choice, adding that free agency won't be thrown off even if no deal is signed. Right away, the negotiating window opens Monday, March 9th, with official signing starting Wednesday, March 11th at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Fans and media have buzzed about Kelsey's future. Especially after the Chiefs tweet, Patrick Mahomes' 2026 salary to free of cap space. Back on December 25th, Kelsey shot down retirement rumors during a press conference, joking about the powerball lottery and stressing his focus.

1:00On winning games with family and the organization, Taylor floated a possible two-year contract that spreads out costs, including a solid signing bonus to keep base pay low for 2026. He noted the team could handle any dead money in 2027 if Kelsey steps away then. This set up keeps the Chiefs flexible for a young roster push in 2027, building on their strong runs in 2022 and 2023. Kelsey's call on timing stays his own, but excitement is building for another shot at the title. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, See the episode description.
