Even though Kansas City Chiefs winger Travis Kelce continues to bring the rain and shine with his sidekick Patrick Mahomes, that doesn’t mean he isn’t thinking about retirement, quite the opposite.
During the “New Heights” podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason, the Philadelphia Eagles center, the 34-year-old athlete made no secret of the fact that the numerous surgeries he has undergone throughout his career have had a serious impact to start having his health.

“It’s the one thing I’ve never really spoken about openly: the discomfort,” the Chiefs player admitted. Pain. The permanent injuries… the ten surgeries I had and I still feel them today.”
“Deployment takes its toll, sir. They wreak havoc. It’s a shame I had knee surgery, but luckily I haven’t had any problems with it since.”
However, the one who is currently carrying on a romantic affair with the singer Taylor Swift did not want to reveal the issue that concerns him the most, explaining that he does not want to give ammunition to his opponents.
Kelce’s contract ends in 2024. This season, he scored five touchdowns and rushed for 641 yards on 64 receptions.
