The Kansas City Chiefs are on the cusp of a new era, with several key players and coaches evaluating their futures. One of the biggest questions surrounding the team is the future of Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce. Patrick Mahomes, Kelce’s longtime teammate and friend, has weighed in on the situation, dropping a hint on the star player’s next move.
Patrick Mahomes seemingly teases Travis Kelce’s future with Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes has given a tantalizing clue about Travis Kelce’s plans, leaving fans buzzing about the tight end’s future.
Mahomes, 30, recently shared two photos with Travis Kelce on Instagram, captioning them with clock and bow-and-arrow emojis. The post strongly suggests that the 36-year-old is leaning towards returning to the Kansas City Chiefs. The hint comes after months of speculation about Kelce’s future as a free agent.
Unsurprisingly, the internet’s reactions were swift, with fans going wild, speculating about the NFL pro’s retirement plans. “Best duo in nfl history,” wrote a fan. “Deep down, we knew he wasn’t done yet. We have a work to do,” commented another. “Is this a Patrick Mahomes Easter egg,” questioned an Instagrammer.
Meanwhile, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Travis Kelce will return to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 14th season. Teams interested in him have already been informed of his decision.
“Travis Kelce would have commanded top dollar in the TE market,” Rapoport posted on X (formerly Twitter). “But he’d rather stay with the #Chiefs, catch passes from Patrick Mahomes, and have a shot at another Super Bowl,” he added.
However, no official deal is in place yet. As reported by The Athletic on March 8, Kelce and the Chiefs are open to hearing offers from other teams.
Travis Kelce has been a cornerstone of the Kansas City Chiefs’ offense since 2013, earning 11 Pro Bowl selections and four First-Team All-Pro honors. He is also a three-time Super Bowl champion and holds multiple franchise records.
As the offseason unfolds, fans will be eagerly awaiting Travis Kelce’s decision, hoping for his return to the Kansas City Chiefs.
