Kansas City general manager Brett Veach was asked during an interview with NFL Network at the scouting combine about which version of Kelce the Chiefs could expect if he returns next year, and the executive revealed the 35-year-old tight end was not feeling himself in the lead-up to the big game.

The Kansas City Chiefs expect tight end Travis Kelce to return in 2025, general manager Brett Veach told reporters Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce “was fired up” to keep playing after the season ended, general manager Brett Veach said at the NFL combine on Tuesday.“He has one more year on his contract," Veach said.

About four minutes apart, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and Kansas City head coach Andy Reid gave slightly different views of where the franchise stands with tight end Travis Kelce. They agreed on one point: There is no deadline for his decision about playing in 2025.

The Kansas City Chiefs are said to have given the 35-year-old tight end until March 14 to decide whether he'd like to hang it up or play another year,
