Gronk Predicts Kelce Won’t Be Back Next Season with Chiefs
Rob Gronkowski predicts Travis Kelce won't return to the Chiefs next season, as Kelce weighs retirement amid a playoff loss and off-season questions.
Rob Gronkowski is stirring retirement chatter by predicting Travis Kelce won't be back with the Chiefs next season, joking that Father Time’s got him. The four-time Super Bowl champion's take comes as retirement rumors swirl around Kelce, who is rumored to retire at the end of this NFL season.
After Sunday's loss eliminated the Chiefs from the playoffs and left Patrick Mahomes with a season-ending injury, Kelce told reporters it wasn't the time to talk, a moment that drew critique from a commentator who said he couldn't give them three words.
In his first press conference since the loss, Kelce said he's in a unique time in his life and wants to keep the focus on the team ahead of the Titans game.
With talk about Kelce's future swirling, the Chiefs face an off-season filled with questions about leadership and the offense as they push toward next year.
