Travis Kelce may not retire until he fulfills his childhood dream
(Image via Kansas City Chiefs X: Travis Kelce) Travis Kelce wants to fulfill his childhood dream of giving his all to football. And unless and until he feels that his dream is fulfilled, he says he does not plan to retire. On June 30, the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end talks candidly about retirement with the hosts of the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. Kelce says, 'I don't know what I'm gonna feel like in March and in April next year when I make that decision, or I try to figure out what's next for me. But I know that I got one on the contract and I got a hell of a f*cking team and we got a lot of f*cking talent and I'm pumped for it.' Further in the podcast, when the hosts pressed for retirement date, the 3-time Super Bowl Champion said, 'I don't wanna leave anything out there. I wanna give it my all and make sure that I do for the childhood dream in me. You know what I mean? The kid in me is like - I wanna make this sh*t the best thing ever man.' The Kansas City Chiefs' tight end Taylor Swift's NFL boyfriend, Travis Kelce, does not plan to retire till he achieves his childhood dream The question of retirement always looms over the 35-year-old tight end's aura. A podcast with the showrunners of Bussin' With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, was no different. But when it did, Travis Kelce knew exactly how to handle it. For starters, Kelce talked about his past season. 'I'm going into the last year of my contract, 13th year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo I wanna make this dream that I've always had the best it's ever been. I think I failed last year in a lot of different ways for my guys on the field, in terms of being a leader and just being prepared and ready to rock. I'm motivated to be f*cking accountable for the guys, man.' Travis Kelce Talks NFL Retirement, Chiefs Super Bowl Loss + Bussin' With The Boys Meets Taylor Swift Could the 2025 NFL season be the last year for the 10-time Pro Bowler, Travis Kelce? Will Compton asked, 'Pouring all that into this season, like setting all the other stuff aside, just focusing on football. Is there a little bit of mortality coming with this being your last year in Kansas City? Like, this could be the last year for Travis Kelce?' Taylor Swift's NFL boyfriend said, 'I mean, it's the last one on the contract. I'm focused on this one, man. I don't know what next year's gonna feel like.

Did the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX stop Travis Kelce from retiring? Taylor Lewan asked, 'There were a bunch of rumors swirling around that this could be the last year, this past year. Well, how close were you to hanging it up? Would the Super Bowl have changed that for you?' 'It might have made me think about it a little bit more. I think I just had a sour taste in my mouth immediately, and like, man, this can't be the last game, you know. I still feel like I can do it. And I kind of wanted to give myself that full focus when I kind of looked at the year, review, and how I got ready for the year, and things like that. It's not to say that I was doing it wrong; it's just that when you get older, you start to figure things out differently. Like your body doesn't react to how it used to do things. You have to focus a little bit more on the preparation, and being there, and being ready, and then throughout the week, you've got to have more of a plan to get back to 100 percent. And thinking about all those things, it was like - I don't wanna leave anything out there. I wanna give it my all and make sure that I do for the childhood dream in me. You know what I mean? The kid in me is like - I wanna make this sh*t the best thing ever man.'
