Travis Kelce's retirement is still an open question as to whether it happens now or later.
But when it happens, there could be TV broadcasting in the future of the legendary Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
He's certainly got the popularity, and hosting a podcast has made Kelce plenty comfortable with speaking to a wide audience.
There is one preference Kelce does have, though, and it's worth noting as people start trying to match Kelce up with his future job.
"Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce appears to want to play another year and has indicated he prefers to call games if he enters broadcasting," The Athletic's Andrew Marchand wrote in a new story on Wednesday.

That means Kelce wants to be a color commentator -- the role held by the likes of Tom Brady, Greg Olson, Tony Romo and J.J. Watt, among others. He wants to be in the booth, at a game, working alongside a play-by-play announcer.
It means Kelce doesn't want to be in a studio for pregame and postgame shows.
And that's worth noting, because while there are only so many slots for both roles, it's often easier to mix new guys into a studio show. Those color commentary spots, especially on the top teams, aren't always open.
Everyone will want to sign Kelce into TV whenever he retires, so it won't be like he has to drum up interest.
But for Kelce to land in the right spot at the right time could take a bit of good fortune, too, so it'll be worth watching that aspect of Kelce's future whenever he decides to move onto his next chapter.
