Travis Kelce said the decision to return for his 13th season with the Kansas City Chiefs wasn’t much of a decision at all.
In fact, the four-time All-Pro tight end indicated Wednesday that No. 14 isn’t out of the question.
“I got one year on this contract, I know that. And we’ll try to figure out something for next year,” Kelce said after the second day of the Chiefs’ mandatory three-day minicamp, which was moved partially indoors because of lightning in the area.
“The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can’t see myself playing anywhere else,” Kelce continued. “We’ll deal with (2026) down the road, when the time is right. But right now, I’m focused on winning a championship this year.”
The question of whether the 35-year-old would hang up his cleats was among the biggest to follow the Chiefs’ lopsided loss to the Eagles in the Super Bowl. While he still played at a high level last season, Kelce saw his production dip noticeably — 97 catches for 823 yards and just three touchdowns for a team that won 15 regular-season games.
Throw in Kelce’s myriad business interests, including a successful media career thanks in part to his popular podcast, and his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift, and it made sense to wonder how much longer he would play.
Yet it took only a matter of weeks for Kelce to decide to chase another championship.
Part of it was the way last season’s run had ended. Kelce had a throwback game in the divisional round against Houston with seven catches for 117 yards, but he had only four for 39 in the 40-22 loss to the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
“Really didn’t feel like it was my last game. Just felt like I had a lot more to prove,” he said. “Yeah, you want to let the emotions die down; you don’t want to make a decision off initial emotions. Once they died down, I felt like I still had that fire in my chest to come in and keep building and chase another Super Bowl, man.”
Pro Bowl LB Mosley calls it a career
C.J. Mosley, a five-time Pro Bowl linebacker during an 11-year NFL career with the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens, announced Thursday — on his 33rd birthday — that he’s retiring from playing football.
Mosley was released by the Jets in March after playing in just four games last season because of a toe injury and later a herniated disk in his neck.
A popular playmaker and leader during his career, Mosley made his announcement via a video on Instagram.
“Today, it is time to wake up from my childhood dream and share it with the next generation,” Mosley said. “I spent my whole life and career building my legacy. Now it’s time to start a new chapter with new dreams. It won’t be easy, but I’m here to tell you every sacrifice is worth it.
“When you wake up, what will your legacy look like?”
Mosley, the 17th overall pick by Baltimore in the 2014 draft out of Alabama, had nearly 1,100 career tackles with 12 sacks, 12 interceptions, 10 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and three touchdowns.
Browns QB Sanders has need for speed
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been ticketed for speeding twice this month in Ohio.
Sanders was accused of driving a Dodge TRX pickup truck 101 mph on a suburban Cleveland interstate earlier this week.
The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in a 60-mph zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a report.
Sanders, 23, could pay a $250 fine to waive the fourth-degree misdemeanor case, according to police.
But it wasn’t the first time he’d been pulled over for allegedly speeding since joining the Browns.
That ticket came after he was stopped by the Ohio State Patrol on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio. Sanders was pulled over for going 91 mph in a 65-mph zone, Ohio State Patrol said.
According to Medina Municipal Court records, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that ticket on Monday and owes $269 in court costs.
Browns spokesman Peter John- Baptiste told Cleveland.com Thursday that: “he is taking care of the tickets.”
