Once an NFL legend, always in the NFL spotlight. That’s just how it goes. It’s not if people are watching—it’s how many. And for someone like Travis Kelce? The cameras, the tweets, the hot takes—they will just NEVER stop! Sigh… Just ask Brett Favre, gulps, who left Green Bay as a legend and somehow ended up in a storm of controversies. UFF! But Andy Reid? He’s got a much brighter vision for Kelce’s future.
“Travis would be a heck of a football coach,” Reid said ahead of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX showdown with the Eagles. The New Heights podcast reported the quote, and if you think it was just casual praise, think again. Big Red doesn’t just throw words around.
He’s seen Kelce’s football IQ up close for over a decade. This isn’t just about catching passes and hitting the Griddy (or the end zone Slam Dunks)—Kelce knows the game. And he loves breaking it down. You call it talent… But Reid knows that’s a coach-speak.
And guess who co-signed this take? Mama Kelce. When the podcast’s IG handle posted Reid’s quote, Donna Kelce was quick with the like button. Subtle? Maybe. But in the social media age, that’s basically a virtual nod of approval. If both your head coach and your mom think you’d be a great coach, that’s saying something.
It’s not the first time Reid has gone out of his way to hype up Kelce. A few days ago, he talked about more than just his skills—he praised his mentality. “It’s not only his energy. It’s that positive mindset that you can do anything,” Reid said.
“I think he does a great job with that and being able to show it to the guys. We come together the right way; anything’s possible.” That leadership? That’s why the Chiefs are here again. And why Kelce isn’t slowing down, even at 35. Man’s out there giving Patrick Mahomes the security and the weapon that out-does any duo (and is certainly in conversation with TB12 and GRONK synergy), still he can’t get away with retirement chatter. That’s just sad.
But while the world debates Kelce’s future, the real question is—what does he think? And, of course, what does Tay-Tay think? The retirement whispers are getting louder, but for now, Kelce’s got a Super Bowl to win. Coaching can wait. The Lombardi is calling.
Travis Kelce reveals her beau’s take on retirement
Retirement? That’s a loaded question for Travis Kelce right now. The man just put up another solid season with the Chiefs, locking in 97 catches and over 800 yards. He’s gearing up for Super Bowl LIX, and people are already asking if he’s ready to hang it up? Come on now. I mean, even Taylor Swift doesn’t want her #87 beau to retire anytime soon.
“She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Kelce said on The Stephen A. Smith Show before the AFC title W over the Bills. “She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me, so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.” Translation? The only thing Swift is pushing is her voice through stadium speakers, not Kelce toward the exit.
Kelce and Swift have been going strong since they made things public in September 2023. She was in the stands when the Chiefs won the 2024 Super Bowl, and he’s been spotted at her Eras Tour concerts—sometimes even hopping on stage. It’s clear they get each other. “That’s the beauty of being in a very strong relationship,” Kelce added. “You get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft.” He’s not just talking football; he’s talking about life.
As for retirement? Kelce’s playing it by ear. “My mindset on it changes every single day,” he admitted. “I’ll re-evaluate it like I always do, and I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing, and I’ll come back next year.” Sound familiar? Jason Kelce wrestled with the same decision before finally retiring in 2024. But Trav? He’s still got gas in the tank. I mean, the Texans divisional round game was the perfect example of that. 7 recs. 117 yds, and 1 TD. Read that again! You don’t write a future HOFer just like that.
When that day does come, though, Trav already has a plan—and it involves a mic. “I want to broadcast when I’m done playing,” he revealed on New Heights. Imagine Kelce breaking down plays in the booth? Sounds like a win.
