Chiefs tight end Charles Omenihu has issued a plea to his teammate Travis Kelce, urging him not to consider retirement after the team’s Super Bowl LIX loss. Omenihu believes Kelce has “too much left” in terms of contributions and is an “extreme competitor” who would be unwilling to go out on a low note.
Kelce has been mulling over his decision, stating he plans to take time before deciding whether to return for another season. However, Omenihu thinks Kelce will ultimately stay with the team due to unfinished business and the desire to compete at an elite level. The loss was described by Omenihu as “embarrassing,” but he believes the organization will learn from it and be ready to rebound in next season.
Omenihu also highlighted the presence of other key players, such as quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who will undoubtedly lead the team back to contention. With a strong core returning, including the return of wide receiver Rashee Rice, Omenihu is confident that the Chiefs will be able to address any holes and refocus on achieving their goals.
Omenihu believes Kelce’s decision should be influenced by the certainty of his involvement in next season’s playoffs, with Mahomes under contract and a strong roster in place. This, combined with the team’s dedication to improvement, makes it clear that Kelce will not be leaving anytime soon.
