The Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>‘ 2025 season is one the franchise will want to forget in a heartbeat.<\/p>\n

A 6-11 season, injuries to key players, most notably Patrick Mahomes, and missing out on the playoffs for the first time in the Mahomes era, it wasn’t what we were expecting.<\/p>\n

Such was the predicament Kansas City put itself in; it was eliminated from playoff contention after Week 15, leaving three games left with nothing to play for.<\/p>\n

For tight end Travis Kelce, speaking on the New Height podcast, he didn’t like it one bit.<\/p>\n

“It’s kind of an embarrassing feeling,” Kelce said<\/a>. “But you keep it moving, man, you keep it moving. And I’m still a fan of the game, and I still love the game, so I’ll be tuned in throughout the playoffs, seeing how this thing shakes out over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

“I’ll get to be around some friends and family in January instead of trying to figure out how to win some playoff games.”<\/p>\n

Will Kelce retire?<\/p>\n

That is the biggest question that fans are asking themselves as we turn to the offseason.<\/p>\n

At 36 years old, Kelce is coming to the end of his illustrious career, which spans 13 years, and some thought last offseason he would ride off into the sunset.<\/p>\n

He didn’t and came back to produce another good season, surpassing 800 receiving yards.<\/p>\n

But Father Time is undefeated, and whether Travis wants to go through another grueling offseason and then a 17-game regular season, plus potential playoff games, is something he has to figure out.<\/p>\n

We wait with anticipation.<\/p>\n
