The closed wing star of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce, does not yet make any decision about his possible retirement, yet.
Kelce, 35, opened about what his NFL future holds during a recent “New Heights” episode.
“I know everyone wants to know if I am playing next year and at this time I am kicking everything along the way. I am kicking every can I can on the road,” Kelce said.

The three-time Super Bowl champion completed its 12th NFL season, which ended with a 40-22 demolition of the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl Lix.
“I am not making crazy decisions, but at this time the most important thing is to be there for my teammates and be there for my coaches, understanding that there are many things in this. I have been fortunate in the last five, six years, I have played More football than anyone. “
“The fact that we continue to go to these AFC and Super Bowls championships, that means that I am playing three additional games more than everyone else throughout the League. That is a lot of wear on your body.”
“It’s a long time in the building … That process can be exhausting. You can weigh on you. You can make you better and you can go crazy. At this time, it was one of those things in which I was driving this year crazy.
ESPN Star warns’ Travis Kelce of the Chiefs about becoming ‘decreasing player’ before eventual retirement

With the incredible success of the Chiefs in the last eight seasons, Kelce has played 25 playoff games, adding almost a season and an average value of games to the 175 regular seasonal games that he has played in his career.
Kelce was still productive this season, but his yards (823) and Touchdowns (3) in the regular season this year were the lowest he has had in a full season.
In the Super Bowl, Kelce had only four trapped for 39 yards, all of which came with the chiefs behind multiple touchdowns.
“As you see or feel yourself without having this success that once you used to have, it is a difficult pill,” Kelce said.
“Not being there in the most important moments, knowing that your team tells you, all those are extremely difficult things, it is just a difficult reality.”
The closed wing of the star said he was going to take time to solve it.

“I think I owe my teammates that if I return, it will be something that is a sincere decision,” Kelce said.
“I am not half, I am. I am totally here for them and I think I can play. It is only if I am motivated or if it is the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to assume all that responsibility.”
If Kelce decides to retire, he is likely to be a member of the Hall of Fame of the First Mallal and will become one of the best closed wings to play in the NFL history.
