Kelce<\/a> and the Chiefs were thrashed 42-20 by the Philadelphia Eagles in February.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old mulled over retirement following the bruising loss in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

Kelce has ultimately decided to have at least one more year in the league.<\/p>\n

Teammate Patrick Mahomes indicated earlier this month that Travis is looking in phenomenal shape.<\/a><\/p>\n

“He doesn’t seem like a guy who if it’s his last ride he’s tired of the job,” Mahomes said.<\/p>\n

“He’s in there and he’s working. I know his body feels good, it feels better than even last year.”<\/p>\n

Kelce’s workout secret may be out after being spotted entering a gym in Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n

The ten-time Pro Bowler has entered the world of racket sports, taking up padel.<\/p>\n

Kelce worked up a sweat playing the fast-paced tennis alternative on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

It came just hours after whisking girlfriend Taylor Swift out on the town for a romantic Sunshine State date<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pair were spotted dining at Buccan, a James Beard-nominated restaurant, in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

Kelce owns a $20m mansion in Boca Raton just a short drive away.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs star jetted to Florida following OTAs earlier this week. <\/a><\/p>\n

Kelce reported for training after penning a lucrative one-year extension<\/a> at Arrowhead.<\/p>\n

Travis has played for the Chiefs since being selected by the franchise in the third round of the 2013 Draft. <\/p>\n

He has since become one of the league’s most dominant tight ends.<\/p>\n

But 2024 saw a huge drop off in production<\/a>, with Kelce putting up career lows in receiving and touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Kelce and pop princess Swift<\/a> have been dating since the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

The pair have kept a low profile over the offseason, with Swift enjoying downtime<\/a> after spending most of 2024 on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TRAVIS KELCE has found a new pastime as he gears up for the 2025 NFL season.
