He also hit back at the ongoing speculation about Kelce retiring, saying the Chiefs is expecting to see the tight end on the field in the upcoming NFL season.
Kelce’s confirmation that he will not be retiring from the NFL comes after the Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spoke during Wednesday’s episode of the NFL’s The Insiders podcast.
ESPN star Pat McAfee read out a text message from the Kansas City Chiefs tight end on his Thursday show on the network, confirming he would return and play next season.
Veach also addressed the nature of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, saying the game was a “bad day to have a bad day.”.
“We’re never going to make excuses and talk about it, but he was battling with a pretty big illness there before the Super Bowl,” he said about the New Heights podcast co-host.
