has revealed his aspirations to pursue a career in broadcasting once his illustrious NFL career concludes. The legendary tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, with an impressive 11-year tenure and three Super Bowl rings to his name, recently dismissed any rumors of retirement, despite his upcoming 35th birthday. While he’s not ready to hang up his cleats just yet, Kelce already has a clear vision for his post-football endeavors.

In the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, which he hosts alongside his brother Jason, Kelce shared his desire to follow in his brother’s and Tom Brady’s footsteps and become a TV analyst. During their discussion about potentially purchasing a stake in an NFL team, Travis expressed his interest in broadcasting, citing Brady’s recent deal with Fox Sports as an example.

When asked about buying into the Philadelphia Eagles, Travis responded that he’d rather invest in the Chiefs or become a minority stakeholder. Jason jokingly agreed, acknowledging the substantial financial investment required. Travis then brought up Brady’s situation, explaining how his minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders impacted his TV deal.

Brady, an iconic quarterback, is currently in discussions to acquire a minority stake in the Raiders, in addition to his 10-year, $375 million broadcasting agreement with Fox Sports. Meanwhile, Jason is set to join ESPN’s Monday Night Football team after a successful 13-year career with the Eagles. However, he asserted that he would readily terminate his contract to become an Eagles owner.

Travis Kelce, on the other hand, has made it clear that broadcasting is his preferred path after football. He wants to be “the talking head that calls the games.” Kelce has solidified his status as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history during his time with the Chiefs, consistently playing a pivotal role in the team’s success. Last season, he helped the Chiefs secure their second consecutive Super Bowl victory, putting them in a position to achieve an unprecedented “three-peat” next season.

Despite his age, Travis Kelce remains passionate about the game and intends to keep playing “until the wheels fall off.” He expressed his enduring love for the sport and his enthusiasm for showing up to work every day. With no immediate plans for retirement, Kelce is focused on continuing his remarkable NFL journey and adding more achievements to his already impressive résumé.

In the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Jason and Travis Kelce discussed the possibility of purchasing the Philadelphia Eagles, with Jason revealing that an interim staff member was eager for them to express interest. However, the brothers acknowledged the significant financial investment required and the unlikelihood of being able to afford the team.

The Eagles, currently valued at a staggering $7.5 billion, were purchased by owner Jeff Lurie 30 years ago for $185 million. As Travis Kelce contemplates his future, he remains committed to excelling on the field and pursuing broadcasting opportunities once his playing days come to an end.
