Well, well, well! It looks like Travis Kelce is already plotting his next glow-up while the football world collectively refreshes its feed waiting to see if he's hanging up those cleats for good. And honestly? If this tea is true, the man is not about to fade quietly into retirement golf courses and dad jeans. Nope!!! He's aiming straight for your Netflix queue - for what will almost certainly be a HUGE payday! Related: Travis Kelce Charity Scandal - And MORE! Sources are whispering that the 36-year-old NFL superstar is in talks with Netflix about a seriously splashy role that would keep him front and center in the sports conversation even after his playing days are done. According to one insider who spoke to Us Weekly on Thursday, Kelce is discussing a deal to serve as Netflix's exclusive broadcast sports correspondent. Yes, exclusive. Yes, broadcast. And yes, Netflix. That's a lot of power words in one sentence, and we are very much paying attention. As for where the deal stands right now, the vibe is cautiously optimistic - but not locked down just yet! The insider said it is: "Still being finalized, but discussions are well underway." Ooooh! Doesn't that just scream boardrooms, suits, and expensive lunches? And while Netflix is likely dreaming up Kelce content, it sounds like the tight end is doing some serious soul-searching about his future on the field. Another source says he's already had some conversations with Kansas City Chiefs officials about whether this past season might have been his last: "[Kelce] has had talks with his team about retiring and not playing football next season." Oh, and Kelce hasn't exactly been shutting down retirement rumors, either. On the latest episode of his New Heights podcast, he opened up about how complicated the decision really is and how much it comes down to how his body feels once the dust settles: "It's a tough thing to navigate, but at the same time, I think if my body can heal up and rest up and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat. I think right now it's just finding that answer and seeing how the body feels after this game and when it all settles down." Totally fair. But let's be real: the TV route is probably looking preeeeetty tempting. Especially when you consider that some industry insiders estimate Kelce could command anywhere from $10 to $20 million a year if he makes the jump. That's not just a career pivot! That's a full-on empire move! You down for that, Taylor Swift??? Related: Taylor Swift Got Travis 'The Best Gift' For Christmas - And He REFUSES To Share It! Ultimately, between his charisma, pop culture clout, and very famous girlfriend, Travis is way more than just an athlete. If Netflix snaps him up, don't be surprised if he becomes the face of sports coverage for a whole generation. Football or not, this man is not going anywhere! Reactions, y'all?! Share 'em (below)!
