Is Travis Kelce retiring? What Chiefs star said after Broncos game

Travis Kelce’s NFL future has been a hot topic this season – especially after the Kansas City Chiefs were knocked out of playoff contention.

Thursday’s Christmas night contest against the Denver Broncos marked the Chiefs’ last home game of the 2025 season. But was it also the last home game of Kelce’s career?

The Chiefs star largely dodged the topic.

Asked if the game carried any extra emotions, Kelce replied ‘Yeah, it’s a Christmas game, baby.’

‘There’s a whole lot of emotions, man,’ Kelce said. ‘Have everybody in the world watching ya. Get to go out there with a guy, a young guy like Chris Oladokun. Prime-time television. Excited for him, excited for the guys around us. A lot of young guys getting opportunities to taste what this NFL life on a big stage feels like, and I just wanted to get out there and get a win for those guys, man.’

Pressed further on the topic, Kelce joked the only time he thought about the possibility of this being his final home game came when he was ‘driving in the other day and I saw how much the Powerball was.’

‘I was like, ‘Man, if I could just win that. I wouldn’t have to work another day in my life,’ ‘ Kelce said.

He added he’s ‘just been focused on trying to win football games, man.’

‘I’ll let that (retirement) be a decision that I make with my family, friends, the Chiefs organization, when the time comes,’ Kelce said.
