Travis Kelce’s life has been under the microscope since he started dating Taylor Swift.
He’s coming to a fork in the road in his life.
And Travis Kelce faces one decision that will change everything with Taylor Swift.
Former NFL quarterback predicts Travis Kelce could retire if Chiefs win the Super Bowl
The Kansas City Chiefs are in pursuit of an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl title
Kansas City would join the 1970s Pittsburgh Steelers as the only franchise to win four Super Bowls over six years.
Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce broke the record for 100-yard receiving games in playoff history set by Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice.
The 35-year-old is nearing the end of his playing days.
Some have speculated that he could ride off into the sunset after another Super Bowl victory.
ESPN football analyst Dan Orlovsky – a former NFL quarterback – thought retirement would become “a very real thing” for Kelce if the Chiefs bring home another Lombardi Trophy.
“Kelce is fully capable of being the difference-maker. I think he’s got one great run left,” Orlovsky said on ESPN’s First Take. “I think if he goes and has that vintage Kelce performance, which I fully, one, think he’s capable of, and two, will do, and they go on and three-peat, I think retirement becomes a very real thing for Travis Kelce.”
Orlovsky argued that Kelce would have nothing left to prove with a Chiefs three-peat.
“There would be nothing else to accomplish,” Orlovsky explained. “He’d be arguably the greatest tight end of all time. He would be the tight end that was part of [Chiefs] only three-peat in the history of the NFL. He’s obviously later in his career. I don’t think there would be anything left. And I think he’s got one, elite, great, difference-maker, vintage, ‘Oh my Gosh, he did it again’ run left in him.”
Travis Kelce reveals his thinking on the future
Kelce admitted retirement crosses his mind and that he’ll look at things in the offseason during an appearance on the Stephen A. Smith Show.
“I love everything that I’m doing . . . but at the end of the day, I’m not having that extreme success on the field,” Kelce said. “I’m excited for these next couple of games . . . to finish this season off. I’ll re-evaluate it like I always do, [and] I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and I’ll come back next year.”
The Chiefs star’s production has dropped off this season from the high bar of success he set earlier in his career.
He finished with the fewest receiving yards and touchdown receptions of his career this season.
His pop star girlfriend Taylor Swift is supportive of him continuing his playing career if he wants to keep going.
“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Kelce revealed.
Kelce said that Swift “loves coming” to NFL games to watch him play.
“I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams,” Kelce said.
Travis Kelce could face a tough decision about his future if he has an opportunity to go out on top with three straight Super Bowl wins.
