After the 2023 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious, becoming the first team since Tom Brady’s New England Patriots to win back-to-back Super Bowls. Following this achievement, Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles announced his retirement.
For years, the Eagles’ longtime starting center had considered retiring, and after the disappointing end to Philadelphia’s NFL playoff run in 2023, his decision to leave was not unexpected.
On the other hand, Travis Kelce, Jason’s brother, has chosen to continue playing. In a recent announcement, it was revealed that he signed a contract extension with the Chiefs, adding two more years to his existing deal, keeping him with the team until the 2027 NFL season.
Upon hearing the news, Travis Kelce expressed his excitement through the “New Heights” Twitter account, confirming his commitment to the Chiefs with the signed extension.
“BACK AT IT AGAIN,” the show tweeted along with a video.

Despite a slightly underwhelming performance in the previous regular season, falling just 16 receiving yards short of a consecutive 1,000-yard season, Travis Kelce’s extension reflects his value as one of the top tight ends in the league.
With Kelce secured for the future, the Chiefs are eyeing a historic third consecutive title next season, solidifying their legacy as a football dynasty.
