TRAVIS Kelce revealed a clue about his eventual retirement from the NFL after the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory against the Cleveland Browns.
The nine-time Pro Bowl NFL tight end hasn’t impressed fans when it comes to his play on the field.

During his New Heights podcast, Travis Kelce spoke about the Chiefs’ win on the road in Cleveland.
The 35-year-old grew up in Cleveland Heights and admitted that he isn’t sure “if it’s the last time” he’ll play in the Ohio city as his 12th season in the NFL continues.
“It felt so surreal. I don’t know if it’s the last time I’ll play in Cleveland but it kinda felt like I was giving it one last hoorah before I’m done because I’ve only played there twice in 12 years,” Kelce told his brother and co-host Jason Kelce.
He continued, saying Sunday’s game “was a special day for me personally.”
Kelce recorded just four catches for 27 yards at Huntington Bank Field.
The three-time Super Bowl champion hasn’t exactly wowed on the stat sheet consistently this season like in years past, posting over 70 receiving yards in a game just four times in 14 games.
Kelce also only has two receiving touchdowns.
The Chiefs have still managed to win 13 of their first 14 games of the campaign.
And Kelce is on pace for his fourth 100-plus reception season.
Recently, retirement rumors have been in the air concerning Kelce as he and Kansas City look to win their third straight Super Bowl title.
The boyfriend of music icon Taylor Swift was asked about possibly leaving the game of football in the not-so-distant future during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show in September.
“I’m still enjoying coming to work. I’m not dreading practice,” Kelce said.
“I’m just having so much fun and just so appreciative and so fortunate that I’ve been able to come into year 12 and still have this energy and this love and the ability to get to work.”
Kelce and the Chiefs will have the tough task of playing three games in 10 days.
After beating the Browns over the weekend on December 15, they will host the Houston Texans on Saturday, and then face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Christmas Day.
Kansas City can clinch the No. 1 spot in the AFC with two wins in their final three games.
The Chiefs’ season-finale game will be against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, January 5.
The squad hopes to have the injured Patrick Mahomes suit up this weekend.
Mahomes practiced fully on Tuesday and Wednesday after suffering a mild high-ankle sprain in Week 15.
