“I don’t think it was my best outing. I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them.<\/p>\n

“I have a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me. I don’t want to leave that life yet.<\/p>\n

“I feel like there is a responsibility in me to play out the contract I initially signed to give Kansas City and the Chiefs organisation everything I’ve got, and that’s what I’m going to do.”<\/p>\n

Kelce has helped the Chiefs reach five of the past six Super Bowls, establishing himself as one of the NFL’s best tight ends in history.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the NFL’s Scouting Combine, Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said<\/a> Kelce “was battling with a pretty big illness” before the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs drafted Kelce with the 63rd overall pick in 2013.<\/p>\n

From 2016 to 2022 he recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards and was an All-Pro selection in each of those seasons.<\/p>\n

Kelce formed a productive partnership with Patrick Mahomes, who became the Chiefs’ starting quarterback in 2018, as they won the Super Bowl in 2020, 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n

The Eagles denied them an unprecedented ‘three-peat’ after a regular season in which Kelce made 97 receptions for 823 yards, his lowest yardage total since 2014.<\/p>\n

The 2025 season is scheduled to start on 4 September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
