A reasonable deadline felt like the start of the NFL Scouting Combine, which is the unofficial start to the race of offseason moves that will have any NFL fan\u2019s head spinning once the legal tampering period opens on March 9.<\/p>\n<p>For any of the 32 general managers causing the chaos, it would be important to know if a legendary player like Kelce was going to play in 2026. It would be reasonable for the Chiefs\u2019 Brett Veach to ask for assurance in either direction by the time the football world starts gathering in Indianapolis on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean the public will know by then, especially because Kelce is a free agent needing to negotiate a contract to officially come back, but the two sides have stayed in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Andy Reid shared that information with local media during a Zoom press conference on Friday afternoon. He was asked if there was any indication he has felt from Kelce on returning for his 14th season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, there is communication, though,\u201d Reid pointed out. \u201cAs long as there\u2019s communication, I\u2019m good. That means people want to move forward, and I think that\u2019s where Trav is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not trying to put words in his mouth at all,\u201d Reid clarified. \u201cAnd I try to give him space here. He has been doing this a long time; he can sort all that out as he goes forward, but we\u2019re proceeding with that, and there is communication going on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether it has been Kelce himself or now Reid, there have only been positive indicators that the all-time tight end wants to play next season. It shouldn\u2019t be surprising if the news comes out next week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kansas City\u2019s favorite tight end has kept in touch with Big Red and company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43523,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43522","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
