Travis Kelce Gives Timetable on Potential Chiefs Return Decision for 2026 | SI
“I want to give the Chiefs a good opportunity, whether I come back or not—or whether they want me back or not,: Kelce said via Nate Taylor of ESPN. “I’d like to make that decision before they’ve got to get draft picks and free agency opens to fill the roster appropriately.”
If he walked away after 2025, Kelce’s legacy as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history would be secure. He has four All-Pro appearances and 10 Pro Bowl trips under his belt, and he is Kansas City’s all-time leader in receiving touchdowns, receiving yards and receptions.

Why Gennaro picked the Chiefs: Having made five of the past six Super Bowls — collecting three Lombardi Trophies in the process — Kansas City finds itself in completely unfamiliar territory: outside of the current playoff field. Historical data tells us this game could be a crucial turning point, one way or the other. In previous NFL campaigns going back to 1990, teams that started off at 5-6 only made the playoffs 15.4 percent of the time. On the other hand, teams that began the season at 6-5 ultimately hit the postseason at a 43.5 percent rate. So, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and Co. need to get right right now. But Kansas City isn’t the only team in this matchup with a growing concern. Yes, Indianapolis has been the NFL’s most pleasant surprise in 2025, vaulting to the top of the AFC South behind the league’s best offense, but everyone’s been waiting for the other shoe to drop on Daniel Jones. And in his last two games, Jones has four interceptions, six fumbles (three lost) and 12 sacks taken. Is “Indiana Jones” turning back into “Danny Dimes,” the mockable turnover machine who wore out his welcome in New York? I’d say the Colts would be wise to put it all on Jonathan Taylor in this one, but the Chiefs have held three of their last four opponents to 60 rushing yards or fewer, yielding an NFL-low 3.3 yards per carry in that span. The chess match between Shane Steichen and Steve Spagnuolo takes center stage at Arrowhead, and I like the four-time Super Bowl champion to rally his defense in a must-win game.

Colts +3.5: “I hate picking against the Chiefs at home, but I think I have to do it here. The Colts have a chance to roll into Kansas City and deliver a knockout blow to the Chiefs’ division title chances while also putting their playoff hopes on life support. The Colts will be coming into this game off a bye, which means that the NFL’s leading rusher, Jonathan Taylor, will have had some time to rest his...
