WHILE Travis Kelce may not yet be ready to retire, the tight end has a home in Hollywood for when his football career is over.
Signs are currently pointing towards Kelce playing one final season in 2025.

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid both met with reporters at the NFL Combine on Tuesday and spoke about Kelce’s status.
Reid was largely noncommittal and wouldn’t put any words in Kelce’s mouth.
Specifically, he said the decision was “up to Travis.”
However, Veach brought a much different tone to the table, indicating that Kelce is on his way back,
“How he left at the end of the season is that he was fired up, he has one more year under contract, still think he has that fire and desire to play,” Veach said.
“As far as I’m concerned, there is no deadline. I think we left it as he’ll be back.”
While Kelce is still figuring things out on the football side of his life, he is already being drawn towards Hollywood.
A film producer said on Monday that he “100 percent” has a future in the film industry.
Kelce has already broken onto the scene in Hollywood, starring in the FX show Grotesquerie.
He also helped to produce the movie My Dead Friend Zoe, which is set to premier soon.
The film’s other producer, Paul Scanlan, told PEOPLE that Kelce “made a difference” in the film.
“He’s such a likable guy and he’s a good actor. I mean, he’s proven that he’s been in some good material. And he’s a good producer,” Scanlan said.
“He’s made a difference in our project. He’s really good at generating attention and getting attention on a worthy project.
“He’s a giving person, he’s very Midwestern that way. I feel like he wants to do purposeful projects.
“And having him involved has helped us achieve our mission, getting this film out to more people where it can really make a difference.”
NFL important dates 2025 season

November 27 – Thanksgiving Day triple header

Kelce has achieved almost everything in the NFL, winning three Super Bowls and being named to 10 Pro Bowls.
He has 12,151 receiving yards and 79 total touchdowns in his career.
The only thing left for him to play for is pride in his age-36 season, and that might not be enough to keep Kelce in the NFL.
His decision will likely come at some point in March or April as the Chiefs will need to replace him if he retires this offseason.
If he does retire, expect a new Hollywood project with his name on it soon.
