The upcoming season marks the final year of Kelce's contract, which lends itself to speculation that it could be the tight end's last ride both with the Chiefs and in the NFL. Kelce is set to earn $17.25 million in his final contract year with the majority of that paycheck coming by way of a $12.5 million roster bonus.

Kelce and the Chiefs were thumped by the Eagles in Super Bowl 2025, and questions lingered for the early part of the offseason about whether the tight end would retire. He was named to his 10th Pro Bowl in 2024, but he produced the lowest full-season receiving yard total (823) of his career with just three touchdowns.

Travis Kelce is poised to join the Kansas City Chiefs for the first time this offseason when mandatory minicamp begins Tuesday of next week. And when he steps onto the practice field, Kelce will look very different from how he looked in 2024.
