Travis Kelce will get a ton of interest from TV if he decides to retire.
After the Chiefs were eliminated from the playoffs a few weeks ago, Kelce refused to answer if he was coming back for another season.
“I’d rather just keep the focus of the media and everything on this team, right now,” Kelce answered. “All the conversations that I have with the team, and everything moving forward, will be with them. I think it’s a unique time in my life, and unfortunately, I’ve got three games left and I know when the season ends this year. Typically, we go into it, and we don’t know when it’s going to end, and that’s the beauty of it.”
After the Chiefs’ final game of the season this weekend, Kelce appeared emotional as he left the field.

According to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand, Kelce would get a ton of money thrown at him from TV networks if he opts to retire.

“I think Travis Kelce is one who, if he retires, definitely could do TV. I think he wants to do games, so that’s one to watch. He’s a guy who is only going to take a No. 1 job, to me. He’s going to get anywhere from 10 to 20 million, because he’s Travis Kelce.”
It’ll be interesting to see what Kelce does after he retires, since it seems he has a ton of options.
