Travis Kelce insists Chiefs return in 2026 was never in doubt: 'Hungry to get back'

Any concerns about 11-time Pro Bowler Travis Kelce’s career continuing with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2026 were apparently unwarranted.

Shortly after news surfaced that Kelce would return to the only NFL team he’s ever played for, the 36-year-old tight end said he made the decision "about midway through" last season.

"About midway through the season," Kelce said on the latest episode of "New Heights," the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
