NFL : Chiefs Coach Confirms Ongoing Talks with Kelce About Future

Travis Kelce keeps retirement talk alive as the Kansas City Chiefs' tight end remains undecided about the 2026 season. Head coach Andy Reid confirms ongoing communication with Kelce, emphasizing the importance of dialogue. Kelce, who turns 37 mid-season, is not under contract and could enter free agency for the first time. Despite a dip in production, he remains Patrick Mahomes' go-to target, finishing the last season with 76 receptions, 851 yards, and five touchdowns, earning his 11th straight Pro Bowl selection.

Meanwhile, the Chiefs face a decision on Tyreek Hill after his release from the Miami Dolphins. Reid notes there have been no discussions about Hill’s return. Hill, recovering from a torn ACL and dislocated knee, aims to continue playing but lacks a timetable for his comeback. The eight-time Pro Bowler turns 32 in March.
