Travis Kelce plans to play in the 2025 season.
Pat McAfee read a text from Kelce on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday.
Kelce wrote, “I’m coming back for sure. Gonna try to get into the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop. Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and with how I got the guys ready for battle. I can’t go out like that!!!!”
Later Thursday, the “New Heights” podcast, hosted by Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, posted a confirmation on X: “From the desk of @tkelce : ITS TIME FOR YEAR 13.”
Travis Kelce will discuss his decision to return for a 13th season on the next episode, which will be released next week.
**Kelce was held to four catches for 39 yards in the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX that denied Kansas City a chance at a three-peat. That ended a season in which he posted career lows (not counting his rookie season, when he appeared in just one game) in receiving yards (823) and touchdowns (3). He did lead the Chiefs in receptions, however, with 97.
