Travis Kelce has given an honest update on his retirement plans by admitting he “doesn’t know” if he can play another 40 NFL games.

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Kelce broke another record in the recent win over the Los Angeles Chargers, becoming the fastest tight end to record 12,000 receiving yards by reaching that figure in just 172 matches.

The record was previously held by Tony Gonzalez, who took 210 games to reach the same milestone. Kelce opened up about the record on the ‘New Heights’ podcast with his brother and retired NFL icon, Jason, where he marvelled at Gonzalez’s incredible career.

But Travis, who is now in the twilight of his career, dropped a major bombshell by stating he doesn’t see himself playing beyond the 2025/26 season. “Goddamn, [Gonzalez] played 210 games? What the f***?” Travis said on the podcast to Jason, who clarified: “Well, he played more than that… it took him 210 games to get to 12,000.”

Travis replied: “I don’t know if I can… that’s almost 40 more games. I don’t know if I can play 40 more!” Jason then pointed out: “Listen, that’s a lot more games. He got 15,000 [yards]!” to which a stunned Travis said: “How did he do it? Goddamn!”

With the Chiefs’ win over the Chargers last Sunday, Kelce has now played exactly 100 fewer regular-season games than Gonzalez, who capped off his legendary career with 272 NFL appearances.
