Kelce’s season ends, but his next move remains uncertain.

Travis Kelce ended the NFL season without a contract and with more questions than answers. The Kansas City Chiefs’ star tight end watched a rough year close with a 14-12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the league’s worst team. That loss capped a shocking 6-11 season and kept the Chiefs out of the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

Kelce’s contract expired when the season ended, making the three-time Super Bowl champion officially unsigned. He joked about it on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, which he hosts with his brother Jason.

“I am officially jobless, Jason,” Kelce said. “In fact this is my only job. This is the only company that employs me right now.”

Behind the joke sat a real decision. At 36, Kelce once again faces the question of retirement after 13 seasons with the Chiefs. He did not give a final answer though he did mention about this matter earlier. But now he did offer a clear hint.

Kelce Says His Body Will Decide What Comes Next

Kelce said he still loves football and has not lost that feeling. He stressed that his body will make the call.

“There’s a lot of love for the game still, and I don’t think I’ll ever lose that,” Kelce said on New Heights. “If my body can heal up and rest and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18, 20, 21-week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat.”

Kelce plans to take time away before deciding. He said he wants a few weeks to feel normal again after the grind of the season. “I just put my feet up and be a human,” he said.

Even with the Chiefs’ struggles, Kelce still had a strong season. He finished with 851 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He also became only the third tight end in NFL history to reach 13,000 career receiving yards.

Still, the season hurt. Kelce called it embarrassing and painful. He pointed to injuries across the team, including a late injury to quarterback Patrick Mahomes. “It’s a tough way to go out,” he said.

Kelce also revealed that he already spoke with Chiefs officials during exit meetings. “They know where I stand for now,” he said.

If Kelce retires, broadcasting sits as an obvious option, much like Jason Kelce and Tom Brady, which will surely give him a huge amount of money. He said he will not rush that choice either.

One thing is clear. Kelce has said he would only play for Kansas City. As he thinks about football, he is also getting ready for his wedding to fiancee Taylor Swift this summer. The next chapter is coming, and Kelce will make his decision when he feels ready both physically and mentally.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
