Jason Kelce Hints Travis Already Knows His Answer About Possible NFL Retirement

Jason Kelce understands NFL retirement talks well. He suggested that his brother, Travis Kelce, may have already made a decision regarding his future with the sport, US Weekly reported. This topic emerged during a discussion Jason had with Charles Barkley and Ernie Johnson on "The Steam Room."

Jason, age 37, shared his reliance on Travis's insights when contemplating his own choice to leave the Philadelphia Eagles last year. He stated, "I talked to Travis a lot." He expressed that he is willing to reciprocate that support when Travis, age 35, decides to assess his future in the NFL. "We’ve already talked about it a little bit," he mentioned.

As speculation around Travis's NFL career continues, Jason pointed out that Travis might "probably, in his heart, already knows what he wants to do." Jason elaborated on their personality differences, stating, "Sometimes I can way overanalyze situations." He noted how Travis’s straightforward approach contrasts with his tendency to complicate matters. Travis often poses questions like, "Hey man, you want to play or you don’t want to play," providing clarity when it’s needed.

Since joining the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013, Travis has been a standout player. In the 2024-2025 NFL season, though, he experienced a decline in performance. During the "New Heights" podcast last September, he admitted to feeling frustrated at times. "I used to get really, really pissed off," Travis shared. He mentioned struggling with his high expectations for his performance.

Instead of fixating on performance metrics, Travis found a renewed focus. "I just went out there and started to play free," he stated. He emphasized the importance of a play-by-play mentality regarding each specific role on the field.

The Chiefs aimed for a record-breaking third Super Bowl win this season but faced a disappointing outcome. With Travis’s girlfriend Taylor Swift in attendance, the Eagles defeated the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

In the aftermath, Travis mentioned that the Chiefs' offense struggled. He congratulated the Eagles following their victory. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes opted not to speculate on Travis's retirement. He remarked, "I’ll let Travis make that decision on his own" when asked in a post-game interview.

The Chiefs reportedly set March 14 as the deadline for Travis’s decision. During the Super Bowl recap on "New Heights," Jason encouraged Travis to thoughtfully weigh his options. "I think I owe it to my teammates," Travis said. He emphasized his desire to ensure that any comeback would be committed and genuine.
