Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in this year’s Super Bowl. As Kelce is finishing up his twelfth NFL season, many are wondering if a retirement announcement is on its way — especially if he’s able to claim a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. However, Kelce is yet to say anything concrete about retiring publicly.

“I love everything that I’m doing in this building, but at the end of the day I’m not having that extreme success on the field as I have individually,” Kelce said. “... I’ll reevaluate it like I always do, and I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing and I’ll come back next year.”.

At the time, he also clarified that his girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift, had not attempted to deter him from playing in the NFL if that was what he wanted. “She’s fully encouraging me to enjoy playing this game,” Kelce said. “She loves coming to Arrowhead and coming to the games and cheering for me so I got all the support in the world to keep chasing these dreams.”.
Although the tight end has not yet explicitly stated whether or not he is retiring, here are some clues that suggest it might come sooner rather than later... While at the Chiefs mini camp in 2023, Kelce gushed over how lucky he felt to be able to play football in his thirties.
“I love this game,” he said. “I know I’m going to miss it when I’m done playing… I get to play a game for a living at the age of 33, 34 and I think that’s something — you know, I don’t want to lose that. I don’t want to lose that excitement that I had for a game when I was a kid.”.
