Travis Kelce has seen his fame climb to a new level this year after he began dating global pop superstar Taylor Swift during the 2023 NFL season, but it sounds like he might be about to call it quits on his NFL career shortly after their relationship began.
Last week, sideline reporter Michele Tafoya revealed during an interview with CBS Sports Radio’s Marc Ryan that she believes Travis Kelce will be joining his brother Jason in retirement at the end of the season.
“I think Travis Kelce is retiring after this season, like his brother,” Tafoya said.
Tafoya was asked to “shed any light” on her theory. Tafoya couldn’t name her source, but she did throw out an idea about what could be next for the Kelce brothers.
“Well, I can’t really reveal my source. But I can just say that I think he’s looking at future plans. Now with his brother retiring — I kinda tweeted this out as a tease — I could totally see those two pulling a Peyton and Eli Manning sorta gig, maybe on Peacock. The companion piece to Sunday Night Football, where you’ve got the Peyton and Eli cast on ESPN2 for Monday Night Football, why doesn’t Peacock do that with the Kelce brothers on Sunday Night Football.”
Obviously, this would be pretty massive news, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Translation: Taylor tired of going to games. #waittosee https://t.co/Iqijhl9Jrr

The league really, really would not want that. https://t.co/bC61IajXEl

He will propose to Taylor on the field after they win the SB and then retire. I’ve seen the script. https://t.co/kHwEj1CovT

it’d be more believable if someone said Taylor Swift was joining the Chiefs defensive line next season https://t.co/LvDQrYntTp

Yup, it’s going to happen. https://t.co/BW4rTeszLF

I have said Travis has one foot out of playing in the NFL for weeks now. Ever since the Swift situation got serious, that has been his priority and future. https://t.co/GKsasuOye7

We’ll have to see what happens after the Super Bowl.
