In what might have been the final game of his career, Travis Kelce made NFL history with a major achievement. Meanwhile, retirement rumors continue to surround the Chiefs’ tight end as the season nears its end.
Travis Kelce made history in his final game of season
The Kansas City Chiefs’ 12-14 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday brought a disappointing end to their 2025 season. Despite the defeat, tight end Travis Kelce has reached yet another milestone in his storied career in the league.
Kelce became the third tight end in NFL history to have surpassed the 13,000 receiving-yard mark. The only two players who have achieved that number in the past are former NFL stars Tony Gonzalez and Jason Witten.
This major achievement comes amid growing speculations regarding Kelce’s potential retirement this year. As the uncertainty of his future in the league continues to make headlines, fans believe that they might have witnessed the Chiefs star’s final NFL season in 2025.
Meanwhile, Kelce remains tight-lipped about his future plans. He has yet to announce whether he will officially hang up his cleats after his contract expires at the end of the season. Most recently, he gave an update on when he might make his decision.
In a post-game interview after the Chiefs vs the Raiders game, Kelce said, “I’ve got so much love for this team, this organization, and the people here. So I’ll spend some time with them, go through exit meetings tomorrow, and get close to the family and figure things out.”
Kelce added, “Either it hits me quick, or I’ve got to take some time. Last year was a little bit easier. I think I knew right away I wanted to kind of give this one [year] a shot. So, I don’t know. We’ll see.”
For now, all eyes remain on Kelce as fans await his decision.
