Travis Kelce Shares This Surprising Reason Why He Won't Retire From Football This Year
After a triumphant Super Bowl LVIII victory with the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Travis Kelce opened up about the possibility of retiring and the factors that would influence his decision.
In his latest New Heights podcast, the 34-year-old alongside his NFL star brother Jason Kelce, reflected on his standout weekend, including the team's victory and celebrations with his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
A key highlight of the conversation centered on Kelce whether he will retire after winning his third ring.
When asked if he will stick around for the NFL's next season, the Cleveland Heights native said, "Hell yeah!"
He continued: "I want that three-peat."
His viral incident with Chiefs' head coach, Andy Reid, also made headlines. In a tense field exchange, Kelce shouted at his head coach and bumped him, causing Reid, 65, to stumble.
Addressing the incident, Kelce openly called his actions "definitely unacceptable." His brother, Jason, 36, chimed in, stating that Travis had indeed "crossed a line."
"I can't get that fired up to the point where I'm bumping coach, and it's getting him off-balance and stuff. When he stumbled, I was like, 'Oh s**t,' in my head," Travis added.
Travis explained that the incident stemmed from a place of passion, driven by his desire to demonstrate to his coach that he could handle the intense pressure on the field.
"Yeah, I'm a passionate guy. I love Coach Reid. Coach Reid knows how much I love to play for him, how much I love to be a product of his coaching career," Travis stated. "I'm not playing for anybody else but Big Red. If he calls it quits this year, I'm out of there with him, man. I've got a certain relationship with him."
