Exclusive: Travis Kelce Announces Retirement from Kansas City Chiefs

In a stunning turn of events, Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce has announced his retirement from the NFL to pursue a career in business.

The End of an Era

Kelce, 32, is one of the most decorated tight ends in NFL history, having been named to eight Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams. He has also won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs in 2019.

“This was an incredibly difficult decision for me,” Kelce said in a statement. “The Chiefs organization, my teammates, and the Kansas City community have been like family to me. But after much thought, I have decided to retire from the NFL and pursue my other passions.”

Future Endeavors

Kelce plans to focus his attention on his business ventures, including his popular clothing line and his work with the Kelce Brothers Foundation.

Kelce’s retirement is sure to be felt throughout the NFL. He has been one of the most reliable and productive tight ends for over a decade.
