Travis Kelce Makes Chiefs Decision on Tuesday

Following a disappointing loss in Super Bowl LIX, Travis Kelce is ready to run it back with the Kansas City Chiefs for his 13th NFL season.

After the 2025 NFL Draft, many teams have begun offseason workouts. Some, like the Chiefs, kicked off organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday, while teams with new head coaches started earlier.

Kansas City will hold these voluntary workouts on May 27-29, June 2-4, and June 10-13, before mandatory minicamp begins on June 17.

In 2024, Kelce showed up for the first day of OTAs to kick off his 12th NFL season. However, by day three, he was noticeably absent. According to the Daily Mail, the star tight end was in Los Angeles filming his TV series "Grotesquerie."

As it turns out, his brief appearance at OTAs came shortly after hosting his local event, Kelce Jam.

"I wanted to make sure that I showed my face [at practice] after Kelce Jam," Kelce said. "It felt really weird, not showing my face and throwing an absolute rager of a party for Kansas City two days before, so I made sure I popped my head in."

This time around, Kelce appears to be a full participant in OTAs, at least for the first day. In a video shared by the Chiefs on social media, several players are seen arriving at the training facility, including a quick glimpse of Kelce.

In the clip, he’s donning a pink and blue tie-dye T-shirt paired with blue athletic shorts. As he walks in, Kelce offers a friendly greeting to a Kansas City staff member, saying, “Good morning, how are you?”

"The boys are in the building!" the Chiefs wrote on X.

In 2024, Kelce had arguably his worst statistical season since 2015 despite making his 10th Pro Bowl. He finished with 97 catches for 823 yards and three touchdowns.

The Chiefs will open the 2025 NFL season on Friday, September 5, facing the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.
