Travis Kelce Set for 14th Season as Chiefs Seek Salary Adjustment

Tight end Travis Kelce is motivated to return for a 14th NFL season in 2026, with indications he will remain with the Kansas City Chiefs despite early free agency speculation. The 37-year-old unrestricted free agent recorded 76 catches for 851 yards and five touchdowns in 2025. While Kelce is expected to stay in Kansas City, the team may push for a paycut from his previous $17.125 million average salary as he enters the final stages of his Hall of Fame career.
