Travis Kelce isn’t just processing a brutalSuper Bowl loss-he’s taking time to figure out what comes next. After the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, the star tight end is facing more than just the disappointment of coming up short. He’s got a massive decision ahead: return for another season or walk away from the game.
The weight of that choice, along with a grueling season that saw him play deep into the playoffs yet again, has Kelce in reflection mode. Add in his personal life-spending time with girlfriend Taylor Swift– and it’s clear he’s trying to make the most of the offseason. But it’s not just his football future that’s seeing some changes.
Family first! Jason Kelce makes a statement around his future
This week, New Heights, the wildly successful podcast he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, is unexpectedly hitting pause. While some might assume the Super Bowl heartbreak played a role in the decision, the truth is much simpler: the Kelce brothers just need a short break.
Their official statement on X confirmed that there’s no new episode this week, but reassured fans that they’ll be back soon. “No new episode this week, but WE’LL BE BACK with offseason episodes and amazing guests soon,” the message read. Alongside it was a teaser from their interview with action legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, who called them “fantastic interviewers.”
Big decisions on the horizon: Jason’s new career, Travis’s uncertain future
Jason,who recently retired after 13 years in the NFL, is already deep into his next career. He joined ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown as an analyst for the 2024 season, meaning his offseason is filling up with new responsibilities in sports broadcasting. Meanwhile, Travis is navigating a different kind of uncertainty-whether to return to the Chiefs for another season or step away from football altogether.
The Chiefs have set a March 14 deadline for him to decide whether he’ll return for the 2025 season. If he does, he’s in line for an $11.5 million roster bonus on March 15. If he doesn’t, well-he’s got plenty of options, from expanding New Heights to stepping into new ventures.With so much happening, it’s not shocking that the Kelce brothers need a short break.
For now, fans will have to wait just a little longer for the next episode. But with an offseason full of big decisions, major guests, and maybe even some unexpected twists, the Kelce brothers won’t be away for long.
