Following a brutal loss in the Super Bowl, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has a major decision to make about his football future.

During a podcast episode of his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason, the Chiefs star admitted he knows everyone wants to know his future plans, but isn't ready to make that decision just yet.

“I know everybody wants to know whether I am playing next year and right now I am just kicking everything down the road. I am kicking every can I can down the road,” Kelce said during the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast with brother Jason.

“I am not making any crazy decisions but right now, the biggest thing is just being there for my teammates and being there for my coaches understanding there’s a lot that goes into this thing. I’ve been fortunate over the past five, six years, I’ve played more football than anybody…"

“The fact that we keep going to these AFC Championships and Super Bowls, that means I’m playing an extra three games more than everybody else in the entire league. That’s a lot of wear and tear on your body," he added.

“It’s a lot of time in the building … That process can be grueling. It can weigh on you. It can make you better and it can drive you crazy. Right now, it was one of those things where it was driving me crazy this year. It happens as you tail off towards the back nine of your career.”

While he doesn't exactly know what his career holds just yet, Kelce will have media networks line up for his services after retirement. Even "Saturday Night Live" star Heidi Gardner admitted she's a fan, revealing Kelce was her favorite guest host of the show ever.

"Travis Kelce," she said without hesitation when asked about her favorite guest host before the interviewer suggested she was a Swfitie. "Love Taylor Swift too, but I'm a Chiefs fan," she admitted.
