TRAVIS KELCE has been tipped to make a shock retirement decision over a potential trade deal.
There has been ongoing speculation over when the tight end will call time on his NFL career.
Kelce, 35, has committed to playing at least one more year with the Chiefs, but there is still uncertainty beyond the 2025 season.
The star’s contract will expire next summer, leading many to believe that might be when he retires.
However, Kelce’s friend and sports analyst Nick Wright believes there could be a way to keep him on the field.
He has claimed that the Chiefs should re-sign wide receiver Tyreek Hill for one last season together.
He said on his show, What’s Wright? With Nick Wright: “I told you guys a year ago that I’m very excited for Tyreek Hill wearing a Chiefs uniform in 2026.
“Because I think that’s going to happen.
“It’s not going to happen this year, but I think that’s going to happen.
“And maybe that’s enough to get Kelce to come back for one more year.
“A little final Tyreek-Kelce ride off into the sunset together.”
Hill, 31, spent six seasons with the Chiefs after being drafted in 2016.
He is currently at the Miami Dolphins on a $90million contract that expires after the upcoming season.
It is expected that he will stay in Miami for the 2025 campaign but his future beyond is in doubt.
He has repeatedly hinted at an exit from the team after making digs about their results.
Kelce almost walked away from the NFL after the Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Chiefs were humbled 40-22 in New Orleans as their dreams of a three-peat came crashing down.
The match was another frustrating effort in a season where Kelce struggled to reach his usual heights.
He ended the Super Bowl game with four catches and only 39 yards.
Speaking about his future after the defeat, he has remained coy on whether he will extend his terms with the Chiefs.
He said: “I got one year on this contract, I know that.
“And we’ll try to figure out something for next year.
“The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can’t see myself playing anywhere else.
“We’ll deal with [2026] down the road, when the time is right. But right now, I’m focused on winning a championship this year.”
