At the end of April, Kelce, 34, agreed to a new $34.25 million contract with the Chiefs as a reward for yet another incredible season in Kansas City that culminated in his second consecutive and career-high Super Bowl victory. However, in a mid-season interview with the Wall Street Journal, as his notoriety grew as a result of his relationship with Taylor Swift, Kelce said that the physical demands of the game were frequently weighing on him and that he considered retiring. However, in May, Kelce seems to be motivated to continue and match Michael Jordan’s six NBA titles during his playing career. “A further three?” Laughing, Kelce replied, “Give me as many rings as Jordan’s got, baby,” during an interview with Zen Water. “There’s no better feeling than being in the end zone and hoisting the trophy at the end—that’s the Mecca right there.”

“I’m focused on winning the Super Bowl trophy with my teammates, coaches, and the Kansas City fanbase at the end of the season,” said Vince Lombardi. Here we go, three more. One of the best feelings you could ever experience, guy, is scoring a touchdown and either hearing jeers, silence, or the entire stadium erupting. I adore it.

Considering the legacy, I want to be remembered as someone who was unselfish and genuinely tried to improve the areas in which he played.

I’ve been a part of an amazing organization that has allowed me to develop both on and off the field. With the Chiefs, Kelce has won three Super Bowls. This season, he will lead the team’s attempt at an NFL three-peat record.

The Chiefs are off to a spectacular start to the season. On September 5, they will play their home opener at Arrowhead Stadium against the Baltimore Ravens. The Cincinnati Bengals visit Arrowhead after that, and the team’s first road game of Week 3 is against the Atlanta Falcons.

Kelce stated last year, “That’s the only thing I’ve never really been open about,” in reference to his retirement. The unease. The suffering. The residual wounds from my ten operations. “Even now, I still feel every surgery.” Currently on vacation, Kelce traveled to Europe last week to assist girlfriend Swift during her Eras Tour stops in Paris. Later, the pair had a vacation to Lake Como, Italy.
