In the latest episode of New Heights, Travis got candid about his feelings, especially after such a challenging season.

Speaking with his older brother, Jason, the tight end sounded uncertain about whether he would return to the field.

At times, he appeared emotional, acknowledging the toll the game has taken on him.

Kelce shared with listeners, “I know everyone wants to know if I’m playing next year, and right now, I’m just kicking everything down the road. I’m not making any crazy decisions yet.”

He went on to explain how his focus is on supporting his teammates and coaches, even as he weighs his options.

“Making it to so many AFC Championships and Super Bowls means I’m playing extra games compared to everyone else in the league, and that takes a toll on the body,” Kelce admitted.

“It’s a lot of wear and tear, and honestly, it’s a lot of time spent honing in on the game.

That can be exhausting, and honestly, it’s been wearing on me this year.”

Since last week’s podcast, the star tight end has remained out of the public eye.

It’s clear that he’s taking time to focus on himself, as well as his future in the game.
