Travis Kelce Jokes He’s ‘Never’ Retiring After Jason Kelce’s Emotional Speech

Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce explain why the Philadelphia Eagles star’s retirement was only just made official by the NFL this week.
When it comes to the inevitable end of his career in the NFL, Travis Kelce is not looking to follow in his brother’s footsteps. The Kansas City Chiefs star made a joke about “never” retiring on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast, as brother Jason Kelce’s own retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles was made official.

In what Jason is calling “bureaucracy at its finest,” the celebrated athlete was forced to formally share his intent to retire in an email and was placed on the organization’s official “Reserved/Retired List” on June 2. This comes nearly three months after Jason publicly announced the end of his football career in a touching and tearful press conference inside the Eagles’ NovaCare Complex as Travis emotionally looked on from the audience.

Without missing a beat, Travis, 34, responded, “I’m never doing it. Not after that speech, dude. No, f**k that. I don’t want to go through that.”
