Ever since there have been speculations about whether or not he will be returning for another season and even though there hasn’t been an official announcement yet, the superstar is contemplating retirement options.
The football star was seen looming about his decision with his brother, Jason Kelce on his podcast “New Heights”.
Travis shared on the podcast, “I’m gonna take some time to figure it out, And I think I owe it to my teammates that if I do come back that it’s gonna be a wholehearted decision and I’m not half-assing it, and I’m fully here for them.:
“I think I can play, it’s just whether or not I’m motivated or it’s the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to take on all that responsibility.” he added.
Kelce was not in his best form in the latest season of the Super Bowl covering only 823 yards, his lowest since 2015.
