Reid: Chiefs 'communicating' with Kelce on new deal

Andy Reid confirms the Kansas City Chiefs are in communication with Travis Kelce's representatives regarding a new contract, indicating the tight end may return for a 14th NFL season.

Despite previous signals that Travis Kelce might retire, Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters on Friday that the team and Kelce's representatives are discussing a new deal. "There is communication," Reid said. "That's the main thing. As long as there's communication, I'm good. That means people want to move forward."

Kelce, set to become a free agent for the first time in his career, is likely to either return to the Chiefs or retire, with money not being the primary factor since he's earning significantly from his podcast and other business ventures.
