Reid: Chiefs in Communication with Kelce on New Deal

Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirms ongoing communication with Travis Kelce's representatives regarding a potential new contract as the tight end considers a 14th NFL season.

Despite indications that Travis Kelce might be ready to retire, current reports suggest the Chiefs tight end is leaning toward a fourteenth NFL season. On Friday, Reid told reporters that the team and Kelce's representatives are engaged in talks about a new contract.

"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, who is set to become a free agent for the first time in his career, is expected to either return to the Chiefs or retire, with financial terms being a key consideration in negotiations.
