Travis Kelce is making moves, and not just on the field. According to NFL insider Dov Kleiman, the Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end has shed over 20 pounds this offseason. The reason? To be in peak condition for what many believe could be his final run in the NFL.

“Kelce wants to win a Super Bowl next season,” Kleiman posted on X, formerly Twitter, alongside the report that Kelce is laser-focused on fitness heading into the 2025 season. The 34-year-old has never been one to slack, but this latest transformation suggests he’s turning up the intensity for one last shot at a ring.

Kelce’s potential farewell tour comes after a season that saw the Chiefs take home yet another Lombardi Trophy, but also one where the veteran tight end showed signs of wear. Between the physical toll of the game and his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, Kelce’s offseason became headline fodder. Now, he’s shifting the narrative back to football and back to the grind.

Dropping that kind of weight isn’t just about aesthetics. For a player who thrives on crisp route-running and post-catch acceleration, trimming down could keep him a step ahead of defenders. It might also lighten the load on his joints as he battles through what could be his 13th and final NFL campaign.

The three-time Super Bowl champ hasn’t confirmed retirement, but the whispers are growing louder. And if this is his curtain call, he’s clearly not planning to go out quietly.

Kelce’s revamped physique—and his motivation to win—are already turning heads around the league. And if history tells us anything, a locked-in Travis Kelce is a dangerous Travis Kelce.

“I’m coming back for sure. Gonna try to get into the best shape I’ve been this offseason and get back to the mountaintop,” Kelce wrote in a text to ESPN’s Pat McAfee earlier this year. “Got a real bad taste in my mouth with how I played in that last game and with how I got the guys ready for battle. I can’t go out like that!!!!” If this really becomes Kelce’s final season, he’s looking to go out on top.
