dq. BREAKING: CHIEFS PLAN FOR LIFE AFTER KELCE — “KELCE 2.0” COULD BE COMING TO KANSAS CITY
As the 2025 season enters its final stretch, the future of Travis Kelce is becoming a focal point within the Kansas City Chiefs. At age 36, the eight-time Pro Bowl star is in the final year of his $34.3 million contract. With a packed off-field schedule, including his relationship with Taylor Swift and numerous commercial projects, the possibility of Kelce retiring after this season is increasingly being discussed.
Head coach Andy Reid shared that the team always respects Kelce’s decisions but also needs to prepare for the future. “Travis has given us more than a decade of greatness,” Reid said. “If he chooses to end this journey, we won’t try to replace him – we can only hope to find someone to carry on the legacy he’s left behind.”
Amid widespread rumors, experts are turning attention to Kenyon Sadiq, the star tight end of the Oregon Ducks. At age 20, Sadiq possesses an ideal frame of 6’3” (1m93) and 245 pounds (110kg), along with rare skills – the speed of a wide receiver combined with the strength of an offensive tackle. Many analysts believe he could become a first-round pick for the Chiefs in the 2026 NFL Draft.
“Kenyon is the kind of athlete you can’t coach into existence – he was born to play football,” HLV Andy Reid shared. “He’s fast, he’s strong, but what impresses me most is how he absorbs information and hungers to improve every day. With the right guidance, Kenyon could become one of the most complete and dangerous tight ends the NFL has ever seen.”
While Kelce’s future remains undecided, the Chiefs appear ready for a generational transition. Pursuing a talent like Kenyon Sadiq is not just a strategic move, but also proof of how Kansas City prepares for the future without losing its winning spirit. And whether Kelce stays or not, his legacy will continue to shape the team’s style of play for years to come.
