Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have been clear about Kelce’s role in the Kansas City offense since Mahomes took over in 2018: Kelce has no real designed routes in the team’s passing attack; he simply gets open and Mahomes finds him.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce said on the "New Heights" podcast that he will "take some time" to decide on his playing future following his team's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

That’s one point Kelce made on the latest episode of his New Heights podcast when discussing whether he might retire. Kelce, 35, gave a long hug to Mahomes on the sideline late in the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, and fans thought it was a football farewell.
