Speaking to reporters, Reid revealed ongoing communication with Kelce throughout the offseason, emphasizing that the veteran pass-catcher is committed to continuing his career in Kansas City. \u201cTravis has made his call\u2014he\u2019s coming back,\u201d Reid said, smiling broadly. \u201cWe\u2019ve had great talks, and he\u2019s all in.

Kelce, 36, completed his 13th season with the Chiefs in 2025, recording 76 receptions for 851 yards and five touchdowns despite the team\u2019s challenges.
