It sure sounds like Chiefs GM knows what Travis Kelce’s retirement plan is

INDIANAPOLIS — There’s no need yet to write a breakup song about Travis Kelce and the Chiefs.

In the first major clue that Kelce could put off retirement, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach indicated Tuesday that he expects the Hall of Fame tight end to return in 2025.

“How we left it at the end of the season is that he was fired up,” Veach said when asked by The Post at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine.

“He has one more year under contract. Still think he has that fire and desire to play. As far as I’m concerned, there is no deadline (for a decision). I think we left it as he’d be back. And we’re excited to get him back and get him going.”

Kelce did little to shut down speculation during the lead-up to Super Bowl 2025 that he could retire after the last game and enjoy life as a media personality — like his brother Jason has in his first year after retirement from the Eagles — and boyfriend of pop star Taylor Swift.

Perhaps the Chiefs’ failed bid to three-peat changed Kelce’s mind.

He said on the New Heights podcast that he cohosts with Jason that he wasn’t going to rush into any “crazy decisions” and “take some time to figure it out” so he isn’t “half-assing it” next season.

“At this point, get out of town and relax,” head coach Andy Reid said of Kelce’s plans. “For right now, that’s what he’s doing.”

Kelce is due a $4.5 million salary plus an $11.5 million roster bonus on March 14 and another $1 million roster bonus on the fifth day of training camp.

“Hopefully, he has a magical season to end his magical career,” Veach said.
