Travis Kelce has been having a tough week lately. First, the veteran tight end had the worst game of his career, that too in the Super Bowl LIX. The result? Well, the Eagles just dismantled the Chiefs, handing them a brutal and humiliating defeat. And now? The veteran tight end finds himself at the center of retirement rumors. Some say he’s done. Others believe he’s got more left in the tank.
And now, as per the Contract Triggers Calender, released by Over the Cap, it looks like the tight end has to make a decision on his future sooner than expected. Here’s the deal. Kelce’s contract has a major payday coming up. According to Over the Cap, he’s set to rake up a solid $11.5M (plus another $1M bonus due) roster bonus soon. On top of that, his base salary sits at cool $4.5M.
But wait for it because here’s where things get pretty interesting. You see, Kelce is yet to declare his intention for his future with the Chiefs, but he needs to make a tough call before this contract trigger hits. And in his case, the deadline is a bit over a month—March 15, which is the third day of the 2025 NFL league year. Long story short: Either the Chiefs are gonna roll with it and pay Kelce, or they’re gonna move ahead without him to avoid that big paycheck.
This is a developing story. Stay Tuned!
