Reid: Chiefs Communicating With Kelce on New Deal

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirms the team is in communication with Travis Kelce's representatives about a potential new deal, suggesting the tight end may return for a 14th NFL season.

Despite previous indications that Travis Kelce might retire from pro football, current signs point to a fourteenth NFL season. On Friday, Reid told reporters that the team and Kelce's representatives are talking about a new contract.

"There is communication," Reid said regarding negotiations with Kelce. "That's the main thing... As long as there's communication, I'm good." Kelce is due to become a free agent for the first time in his career, with no indication he's considering another team. While Kelce doesn't need the money given his other ventures, he's unlikely to play for the minimum as he evaluates his future with the Chiefs.
