It appears that Travis Kelce is not done yet.

The star tight end “appears motivated” to play a 14th season in the league, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported on Sunday. Her report suggests that other NFL teams could be in the mix if he decides to keep playing.

Well, those teams can officially back off now. Kelce’s future was one of the bigger question marks of the offseason, but now that question has been answered.

Travis Kelce is reportedly expected to return to the Chiefs in the 2026 NFL season, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer added that it will likely be a one-year deal for Kelce to return to the Chiefs. The 36-year-old Kelce will turn 37 in October.

He has spent his first 13 seasons with the Chiefs. Many thought his upcoming wedding to Swift would be the reason for his retirement. Now it appears that he has at least one more season in him. The four-time first-team All-Pro has made 11 consecutive Pro Bowl appearances, with 12 consecutive campaigns of 800-plus receiving yards.
