Move over, Succession—the Kelce brothers just hit pause on their chart-topping New Heights podcast like a plot twist nobody saw coming. Days after Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs fell 40-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX (Feb. 9), the duo teased a hiatus on Instagram.
“No new episode this week, but we’ll be back with offseason episodes and amazing guests soon,” the New Heights page shared on their story. Cue the Friends meme: Could this BE any more cryptic?
But here’s the twist: Retirement rumors around Travis Kelce are swirling faster than a Taylor Swift chorus. Peyton Manning, SNL 50’s MVP guest (Feb. 16), told E! News, “Take some time. Take a full month. Let some things digest and calm down. He can make a better decision then.” Manning, channeling his Omaha wisdom, added, “He’s fun to watch, but he’s got to do what’s best for him.” Spoiler alert: Manning’s rooting for a comeback.
Meanwhile, Travis’ teammate Patrick Mahomes—fresh off the Feb. 9 loss—backed him like a Hail Mary pass: “I know he still has love for the game… We love that guy not only for the football player, but the person that he is every single day.” But Travis isn’t rushing the playbook.
On New Heights, he admitted, “It can make you better or drive you crazy… I’m gonna take some time.” Stats don’t lie: Three extra playoff games yearly since 2013? “A lot of wear and tear,” Travis admitted. And with the Chiefs already signing tight end Anthony Firkser, the endzone’s looking hazy.
This story is unfolding—stay locked in for the latest.
