During a recent interview with People Magazine , Amazon Prime Video's Thursday Night Football host and reporter Charissa Thompson shared her thoughts on Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's decision to continue playing and enter 2026 for a 14th NFL season. "Was I surprised by it? No.
I'm hopeful. I mean, the NFL is better when Travis is on the field," said Thompson. "I mean, obviously, as a person, as a player, everything he's done, I'm excited for him to have another year and make that decision with his friends, his family, and, of course, his fiancée (Taylor Swift).
" Kelce agreed to a 3-year, $54. 735 million deal to return to the Chiefs that can be worth up to $57. 735 million ($18.
245 million average). The first year is $12 million plus 3 million in incentives. The expectation is that 2026 will be his final season in the league, with his assumed retirement draining his remaining cap hits over future years.
