Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce is already thinking about what he may pursue for a career after football.
Travis Kelce was awarded a two-year contract extension earlier this offseason worth $34.25 million, putting a rest to any speculation that he could retire soon. The future Hall of Famer is about to enter his age-35 season as the Chiefs look to complete the first three-peat in NFL history.
During the latest edition of the “New Heights” podcast which he co-hosts with older brother Jason Kelce, Travis revealed that he’d like to follow the footsteps of other NFL greats like Tom Brady and Troy Aikman by entering the life of football broadcasting.
“I want to be right here and tell them about the game. The old ball coach, ladies and gentlemen. I want to do that, I want to be the talking head that calls the games.”
Jason Kelce retired earlier this offseason after a 13-year playing career with the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN quickly signed Kelce, who will work as an analyst on their “Mondy Night Countdown” program that runs before each Monday night football game.

Travis Kelce is coming off another superb season in which he caught 93 passes for 984 yards and five touchdowns. Had he not missed two regular season contests, Kelce would have hit 1,000 yards for the eighth straight year.
Kelce was virtually unstoppable in the postseason, racking up 32 receptions for 355 yards and three touchdowns in four playoff games. The Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Super Bowl 58 to complete the first NFL repeat in 19 years.
Travis Kelce & Kansas City Have Loaded Up For Three-Peat Bid
The Chiefs are running it back with mostly the same core as last season, minus the loss of star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (traded to the Tennessee Titans).
GM Brett Veach loaded up on the offensive side of the ball by signing Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown before using his first-round pick on Texas Longhorns speedster Xavier Worthy. Throw in Kelce, Rashee Rice and workhorse running back Isiah Pacheco, and that’s five players who could realistically put up over 1,000 yards of offense.
Kelce and the Chiefs open their season against the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL Kickoff Game on Sept. 5 at Arrowhead Stadium.
