Leaving no room for doubt and putting rumors to rest about Kelce's future with the team, the caption emphasized, "Ain’t done yet. @killatrav is back ?"

Kelce reportedly agreed to a new one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs worth $12 milion with a maximum value of $15, down from his previous average of about $17 million.
He put to rest speculation of retirement following a difficult 2025 run prior to the Chiefs' official announcement.
During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Kelce credited his fiancée, Taylor Swift, for inspiring the career decision, as he admitted that the pop superstar’s work ethic and passion pushed him to rethink stepping away from football.
As for the decision, Kelce noted it was "pretty short and brief,” emphasizing that he's "still in love with this game."
Kelce, largely considered the greatest tight end in NFL history after winning three Super Bowls and setting countless football records, seemingly didn't want to end his impressive career overshadowed by a lackluster and brutal season.
In 2025, the NFL playoffs and the road to the Super Bowl did not feature the Chiefs for the first time since 2014. They finished with a losing record for the first time since 2012.
