Travis Kelce could follow his older brother Jason into retirement this offseason, claimed a former NFL sideline reporter.
Travis, 34, helped lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a 27-24 win over the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs with two touchdowns Sunday. But just hours before the divisional matchup, former NBC ‘Sunday Night Football’ sideline reporter Michele Tafoya suggested that this season could be Travis’s last.
‘I think Travis Kelce is retiring after this season like his brother, so I think there’s just a ton of motivation there for (the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl). … I think they’re highly motivated,’ Tafoya said, during an interview with Marc Ryan of CBS Sports Radio. Tafoya naturally said she couldn’t reveal her sources but insisted that she believed the tight end was looking to future plans.
She added that Travis and Jason could team up tp produce a ManningCast-style alternate broadcast with their podcast, New Heights, already a hit. Tafoya’s claim of a potential retirement comes as Travis’s romance with Taylor Swift heats up. Travis has been dating the pop star since the summer and she has attended the majority of his games this season, including Sunday’s win. Bills Mafia hadn’t given Swift a particularly warm welcome to Orchard Park as they booed the pop star upon her arrival.
However, the songstress didn’t seem to mind as she was caught engrossed in the game from a suite alongside Kelce’s family. The Grammy Award winner met his Eagles center brother Jason Kelce and his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce.
