Not long after the 2025 season came to an unceremonious end for the Kansas City Chiefs, rumors of tight end Travis Kelce's future with the organization ran rampant.
After the team allowed offensive coordinator Matt Nagy to walk and brought in former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Kelce spoke glowingly about the Chiefs' latest addition to the coaching staff.
Travis Kelce Hints at Return?
"I can't wait to see him back in the building," Kelce said. "He's one of my favorite coaches of all-time, one of my favorite people of all time. I've had so many unbelievable growing moments under him as a player, as a person, and I just love the guy and it's going to be awesome to see him back in the building and see him back wearing the Chiefs logo, baby."
Kelce would need to be playing in 2026 to see Bieniemy in the building - at least in the literal sense - which seemed to hint of his decision to return.
"I think it's a marriage that's gonna pick up right where it left off," Kelce added. "EB and who he is as a coach, you can see kind of his personality, what he brings to the table in that Chicago team. I know Ben Johnson has his own version of that, he's a very tough guy, and what he did in Detroit, he brought over as well. And you can see those running backs over in Chicago and their body of work was definitely an Eric Bieniemy style of football."
New Update on Travis Kelce's Retirement Decision
On Saturday, Feb. 7, just a day before the Super Bowl, The Athletic's Dianna Russini revealed her sense of Kelce's decision, speculating a return to Kansas City is "looking more real than ever."
"Kelce was seen bouncing around San Francisco parties and events, even as the soon-to-be-married man’s next move remains uncertain," Russini reported. "While retirement has been discussed, many close to him believe he could return for at least one more season. A final decision has yet to be made, but a 14th season is looking more real than ever."
While Kelce isn't getting any younger, he still managed to lead the Chiefs in receptions (76), receiving yards (851) and touchdowns (5) during the 2025 season.
