Kelce says, “I don’t know what I’m gonna feel like in March and in April next year when I make that decision, or I try to figure out what’s next for me. But I know that I got one on the contract and I got a hell of a f*cking team and we got a lot of f*cking talent and I’m pumped for it.” Further in the podcast, when the hosts pressed for retirement date, the 3-time Super Bowl Champion said, “I don’t wanna leave anything out there. I wanna give it my all and make sure that I do for the childhood dream in me.
You know what I mean? The kid in me is like - I wanna make this sh*t the best thing ever man.”

I wanna make this dream that I’ve always had the best it’s ever been. I think I failed last year in a lot of different ways for my guys on the field, in terms of being a leader and just being prepared and ready to rock.
I’m motivated to be f*cking accountable for the guys, man.”

Like, this could be the last year for Travis Kelce?”Taylor Swift’s NFL boyfriend said, “I mean, it’s the last one on the contract.
I’m focused on this one, man. I don’t know what next year’s gonna feel like. I don’t know what I’m gonna feel like in March and in April next year when I make that decision, or I try to figure out what’s next for me.

Did the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX stop Travis Kelce from retiring?
Taylor Lewan asked, “There were a bunch of rumors swirling around that this could be the last year, this past year. Well, how close were you to hanging it up? Would the Super Bowl have changed that for you?”“It might have made me think about it a little bit more.
I think I just had a sour taste in my mouth immediately, and like, man, this can’t be the last game, you know. I still feel like I can do it. And I kind of wanted to give myself that full focus when I kind of looked at the year, review, and how I got ready for the year, and things like that.
It’s not to say that I was doing it wrong; it’s just that when you get older, you start to figure things out differently. Like your body doesn’t react to how it used to do things.
You have to focus a little bit more on the preparation, and being there, and being ready, and then throughout the week, you’ve got to have more of a plan to get back to 100 percent. And thinking about all those things, it was like - I don’t wanna leave anything out there. I wanna give it my all and make sure that I do for the childhood dream in me. You know what I mean? The kid in me is like - I wanna make this sh*t the best thing ever man.” Also Read: Jalin Hyatt, New York Giants wide receiver, attributes his 25-pound weight gain to darkness | NFL News - Times of India
