Travis Kelce doesn't have an answer to the question on everyone's mind - he's just trying to process his emotions as the Kansas City Chiefs completed their 2025 home schedule with another tough loss. "A whole lot of emotions," Kelce, 36, told reporters after the Chiefs' 20-13 home loss to the Denver Broncos on Thursday, December 25. "You've got everybody in the world watching you. You get to go out there with the young guys on primetime television. Young guys getting an opportunity to taste what this NFL life is like." The Chiefs have one game remaining in what has been a disappointing season. With a 6-10 record, they will not qualify for the NFL playoffs after appearing in five of the last six Super Bowls. Their last game will be against the Oakland Raiders, either on Saturday, January 3, or the next day. Kelce considered retirement after the Chiefs' blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the last Super Bowl, which ended what was arguably the worst statistical season of his professional career. Instead, he opted to come back for a 12th season in what has been a Hall of Fame career. Travis Kelce Cried During Pre-Super Bowl Speech to Chiefs Teammates As Kelce contemplates his future, it seems like even his brother, former Eagles center Jason Kelce, does not know what he will do. "I'm curious, too," Jason, 38, told ESPN's Scott Van Pelt during ESPN's Monday Night Countdown broadcast on December 15. "In my opinion, to nail that decision, you have to step away from the game for a little bit. Play these last three games, enjoy them with your teammates, enjoy them with your coaches. The team's going to be different no matter whether you come back or not next year." Potentially complicating Travis' decision is the status of Chiefs quarterback and his friend, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes, 30, tore his ACL and damaged his LCL at the end of Kansas City's December 14 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, ending his 2025 season and putting the start of 2026 in doubt. If Mahomes misses serious time next season, it could dissuade Travis from putting his body through the rigors of another season with, potentially, a depleted offense around him. During a December 19 press conference, Travis called it a "crazy thought" to think he may never play with Mahomes again. Andy Reid Addresses Travis Kelce's Future Ahead of Potential Last Home Game Before the Chiefs' Christmas Day game, Travis sat down with retired NFL star Tony Gonzalez and told him he had yet to make a decision regarding his potential retirement. "I think I'm still searching for those answers," he said in a pregame interview. "The way this ended with a sour taste in my mouth, I feel I need to make the right decision for me." He added, "I feel like I have a lot of love for this game. If I came back it'd just be to answer that flame that I still love this thing. If it was just Sundays, I could play till I was 50. Obviously, there's so much that goes into it. Arrowhead being Arrowhead, the atmosphere [and] playing in front of them, those will be memories that I cherish [when] I'm old and gray. ... It's special, man, and I love playing for them."
