Chiefs' Reid Confirms Communication with Kelce on New Deal

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirms ongoing communication with Travis Kelce's representatives about a potential new contract for the tight end amid retirement rumors.

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed on Friday that the team and Travis Kelce's representatives are discussing a new deal. "There is communication," Reid stated, adding that as long as there's communication, it indicates people want to move forward.

Despite earlier signals that Kelce might retire, current indications suggest the tight end is considering a fourteenth NFL season with the Chiefs. Kelce, who is set to become a free agent for the first time in his career, would likely return only to the Chiefs or not at all, with negotiations centered on appropriate compensation.
