Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will turn 36 this fall, and who could blame him for wanting to step away from football?

Kelce holds the Chiefs career records for receptions, receiving yards and touchdown catches, and he’s won three Super Bowl championships. He’s dating superstar singer Taylor Swift, and Kelce has made forays into Hollywood as he pursues an acting career once his playing days end.

It’s logical to believe football might not be front in center of his mind these days.

But some fans are hoping Kelce will return for the final year of his contract with the Chiefs.

Last week, Kelce said he was going to “take some time” to decide whether to retire from the NFL or return for the 2025 season.

Some Chiefs fans hope Kelce will consider returning for a farewell tour, so he can be celebrated and hopefully win another Super Bowl championship. Those fans shared their thoughts on social media, and here is what they were saying.
