Kansas City Chiefs star receiver Travis Kelce had a forgettable performance in the team’s 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, raising questions about his future with the team. Despite suggesting earlier that he could play for three more years, Kelce hasn’t made up his mind about retiring.
Kelce’s struggles were evident throughout the game, as he generated only four catches on six targets for 39 yards against a swarming Eagles secondary. The performance was a stark contrast to his past heroics, where he has consistently come up massive for the Chiefs.
However, Kelce’s decision to retire remains uncertain. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Kelce hasn’t made up his mind about retiring, despite earlier hints of him playing for three more years. The 35-year-old star will now have to decide whether he wants a Super Bowl blowout loss to be his last game or come back for another grueling season.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes expressed support for Kelce’s decision, saying “he knows he still has a lot of football left in him” and that the team would welcome him back with open arms. The outcome of Sunday’s game may play a role in Kelce’s decision-making process, but one thing is certain – the football world will be watching to see what the future holds for this beloved NFL veteran.
