Whether you're a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs or not, the prospect of Travis Kelce's retirement from the NFL has become mainstream news. The three-time Super Bowl champion has yet to announce his decision - even with his contract ending come March.
The latest person from the Chiefs' camp to comment on Kelce's retirement is GM Brett Veach. "I think we've kind of taken a different approach with Travis in the sense that I think we've kind of prepared for either scenario," Veach, 48, said in a press conference on Tuesday, February 24, per NBC Sports.
"Coach [**Andy Reid**] had mentioned on Friday that he's had great dialogue with Travis on our end, myself, Chris Shea, Travis' crew, we've had some good dialogue there - and I'm sure we're going to see him here just like we will all the other players' agents and we'll continue that dialogue," Veach continued.
Veach concluded by showing Kelce, 36, some praise for his dedication to the Chiefs over the last 13 years, saying, "Travis is the best, he's an icon, hopefully he comes back and we'll just kind of let that process play out.
It's unclear exactly when Kelce will share his final decision, but rest assured, it's coming.
Though his fiancée, Taylor Swift, has never publicly commented on the possibility of his retirement, Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, has said, "I just want him to do what he feels comfortable doing. He's gotta talk to people in his life to decide what he wants to do. So I'm not sure. We'll see what happens!"
