Travis Kelce's friend predicts stunning Chiefs trade that will see him ditch NFL retirement plans
Travis Kelce 's sports analyst friend Nick Wright has theorized that there could be one player to convince the Kansas City Chiefs star to play one more season in the NFL. While the tight end postponed his retirement plans this offseason to return to the NFL for the 2025 season, he hasn't yet been prepared to commit to suiting up for the 2026 season or beyond. However, Wright, who previously claimed he barely speaks to his pal Kelce since he began dating Taylor Swift, hinted this week that the footballer's future could hinge on a potential stunning trade. The sports podcaster claimed that controversial wide receiver Tyreek Hill could make a return to Kansas City next year, reuniting with Kelce and Patrick Mahomes for one last rodeo. 'I told you guys a year ago that I'm very excited for Tyreek Hill wearing a Chiefs uniform in 2026,' Wright said on his show, 'What's Wright? With Nick Wright'. 'Because I think that's going to happen. It's not going to happen this year but that I think is going to happen. 'And maybe that's enough to get Kelce to come back for one more year. A little final Tyreek-Kelce ride off into the sunset together.' Hill's current $90million contract with the Miami Dolphins runs through the 2026 season. However, his future with the Dolphins looked rocky throughout the offseason. The wide receiver's relationship with the Dolphins has been left in contentious shape after he repeatedly hinted at a move out of Miami with thinly-veiled jibes at the team and his teammates. And while Hill looks set to suit up for the Dolphins for at least the upcoming season, whether he will stay in the 305 beyond 2025 could be uncertain. Before signing with the Dolphins, Hill played six seasons in Kansas City after being drafted by the Chiefs in 2016. After sharing the field with Kelce for the first six seasons of his NFL career, the five-time First-Team All-Pro player previously insisted that the Kelce was the best tight end he played with. Kelce nearly retired after the Chiefs were destroyed by the Philadelphia Eagles in February's Super Bowl in New Orleans. The emphatic 40-22 scoreline actually flattered the Chiefs and Kelce's struggles to get open encapsulated a season where he failed to find his best form. He finished the game with four catches for 39 yards. The wide receiver spent the first six seasons of his career with Kelce and the Chiefs Following the defeat, Kelce was non-committal about his future, saying on his subsequent New Heights podcast he would 'take some time to figure it out.' But last month, while he was not prepared to give a definite answer on his NFL future beyond the upcoming season, he insisted that he was locked in for the looming campaign. 'I got one year on this contract, I know that,' the 35-year-old said Wednesday at the second of three voluntary practices. 'And we'll try to figure out something for next year,' Kelce said after the second day of the Chiefs' mandatory three-day minicamp, which was moved partially indoors because of lightning in the area. 'The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can't see myself playing anywhere else,' Kelce continued. 'We'll deal with [2026] down the road, when the time is right. But right now, I'm focused on winning a championship this year.' Hill, meanwhile, cast his own NFL future into doubt after the end of the 2024 season when he appeared to hint at a move out of Miami. The wideout appeared to take himself out the team's final game of the 2024 season against the New York Jets , with head coach Mike McDaniel then denying Hill's claim that he was hurt and couldn't play. Then, speaking with reporters after the game, Hill was visibly unhappy at missing the postseason. 'This is my first time I haven't been in the playoffs, man,' Hill said. 'So I just got to do what's best for me and my family. 'I'm opening the door. I'm out bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day I gotta do what's best for my career because I'm too much of a competitor to be just out there.' Yet, while the 31-year-old, who is also in the midst of a bitter divorce from wife Keeta Vaccaro , has remained in South Florida as the Dolphins returned to training camp this week, it doesn't necessarily mean all is forgiven. 'When you say something like that you don't just come back with "My bad." You gotta work that relationship up. He is working on himself,' Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa told reporters Wednesday when asked about Hill's fiery comments. In addition to his cryptic Week 18 message, Hill courted further controversy during the offseason when he appeared to take a swipe at Tagovailoa himself. The receiver was asked by a fan on social media to rank the best quarterbacks in the league and he passed over his own signal caller, who missed parts of the 2024 season after suffering another concussion. Hill's picks were Ravens star Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen of the Bills, Chiefs icon Patrick Mahomes , Buccaneers star Baker Mayfield and Bengals signal caller Joe Burrow.
