Travis Kelce has a big offseason ahead, including his wedding to Taylor Swift in June.

Sometime along the way, the Kansas City Chiefs' legendary tight end has to decide whether he's going to retire from the NFL or if he's going to come back for another season of football.

At 36, Kelce could really go either way. It's not clear if he's made up his mind, or if anyone close to him really knows what is happening.

But on Saturday, in a new article, The Athletic's Dianna Russini has provided an update on Kelce's plans.

"Kelce was seen bouncing around San Francisco parties and events, even as the soon-to-be-married man’s next move remains uncertain," Russini writes. "While retirement has been discussed, many close to him believe he could return for at least one more season. A final decision has yet to be made, but a 14th season is looking more real than ever."

That's a key update, with the "more real than ever" line a particularly exciting one for Kelce fans.

The Chiefs went just 6-11 in 2025, and it'd be a bummer of a way to go out for the all-time great.

He and the Chiefs likely aren't sure at the moment whether Patrick Mahomes will be ready to play in Week 1 after his late-season torn ACL. It's not sure whether that status could also have a role in Kelce's decision.

He's one of the best tight ends ever, and no matter what he does, that will remain true.

At this point, it's more about whether Kelce decides simply that he wants to play more football. And if he does, the Chiefs will surely welcome him back with open arms.
