THE Kansas City Chiefs are set to give Travis Kelce a major payday if he doesn’t retire.
Kelce is currently still debating whether or not he will retire from the NFL.
While he hasn’t made an official announcement yet, signs are pointing towards a return to play for Kelce.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid both met with reporters at the NFL Combine to speak about their tight end’s future.
Reid wouldn’t say much and refused to speak on Kelce’s behalf.
Specifically, he said the decision was “up to Travis.”
On the contrary, Veach brought a more optimistic tone to the table.
“How he left at the end of the season is that he was fired up, he has one more year under contract, still think he has that fire and desire to play,” Veach said.
“As far as I’m concerned, there is no deadline. I think we left it as he’ll be back.”
It is important that Kelce figures things out within the next few weeks though.
The Chiefs are set to give him a massive bonus if he remains on the roster.
On March 14, the Chiefs owe Kelce an $11.5 million bonus that is guaranteed.

If he retires or is cut before that date, the Chiefs won’t owe him anything.
It is important that Kelce is sure he is committed to football for the 2025 season, as the Chiefs don’t want Kelce playing half-hearted.
He already had the worst season of his career in 2024.
The Chiefs tight end posted 823 yards and three touchdowns, his worst totals ever.
If Kelce does decide to retire, he has a promising career in Hollywood ahead of him.

The producer he worked with on My Dead Friend Zoe, Paul Scanlan, told PEOPLE that Kelce “made a difference” in the film.
“He’s such a likable guy and he’s a good actor. I mean, he’s proven that he’s been in some good material. And he’s a good producer,” Scanlan said.
“He’s made a difference in our project. He’s really good at generating attention and getting attention on a worthy project.
“He’s a giving person, he’s very Midwestern that way. I feel like he wants to do purposeful projects.
“And having him involved has helped us achieve our mission, getting this film out to more people where it can really make a difference.”
