Travis Kelce endured a disappointing season alongside his team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Injuries, suspensions, and poor results converged to keep them from reaching the postseason.
Patrick Mahomes’ torn ACL suffered against the Denver Broncos, which ended in a loss that day, buried any remaining chance of returning to contend for an NFL championship.
From that final whistle onward, doubts poured in about what would happen with Travis Kelce. Would he retire, or try to come back for at least one more year to chase a final Super Bowl farewell?
So far, there has been no answer. Uncertainty continues to surround his immediate future. It is worth remembering that in the summer of 2026 he is scheduled to marry pop music star Taylor Swift.

With a business vision that has accompanied him since he began earning serious money playing for the Chiefs, alongside his brother he has managed to grow his ventures, constantly making headlines.
And now that he commands far more attention because of the partner he has, he is leveraging it even further to increase and diversify his income. Alongside his brother, they have launched several ventures that have proven highly successful.
To start, their podcast, New Heights, which is one of the best in the sports industry, gives him the chance to keep expanding its reach. And to maintain the upward momentum of the show, he decided to launch New Heights Kelce Clubhouse.
This new venture is an online store where official podcast merchandise will be offered. For the launch, they went big, using a massive billboard in Times Square. And helping unveil it was his mother, who shared it on her Instagram account.
The boys Times Square Billboard…
As a proud mother, she gladly shared the billboard announcing the launch of her sons’ latest venture, who continue to rack up successes in the business world.
Whether retirement comes now or later, the strategy remains clear: maximize opportunity, protect identity, and convert popularity into sustainable ventures that endure beyond football.
The billboard was less a goodbye and more a declaration of independence, signaling confidence in a future that does not depend solely on Sundays. It reflects timing, control, and patience learned through years of elite competition.
