Travis Kelce Addresses Possible Final Game With Patrick Mahomes

A week before the injury, Mahomes addressed his tight end's potential upcoming retirement, saying, "Every season I’ve had with (Kelce) these last few years I try to cherish because you never know."

Kelce still has not given any indication on whether or not he will return to the Chiefs next season. His reaction on Friday to the thought that he may have played his final game with Mahomes illustrated the weight of the decision Kelce is facing.

"Man, that's crazy," Kelce said in a Friday press conference, addressing the possibility.

The 10-time Pro Bowler quickly snapped back into reality, choosing to focus on his job for the next three games before giving any more thought to his future. Kelce is a critical figure to the offense with 67 catches for 797 yards and five touchdowns.

“I’d rather keep the focus on this team, right now," Kelce said. "All the conversations I have with the team moving forward will be with them."

He did admit that being out of playoff contention was a "unique" feeling that he is dealing with heading into the offseason.

“It’s a unique time in my life," Kelce said. "Unfortunately I got three games left and I know when the season ends this year. Typically, when we go into it, we don’t know when it’s going to end.”

While Kelce continues to mull over his future, the Chiefs will face the Titans on the road this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, with Gardner Minshew starting at quarterback.
