And he was asked about Kelce&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ll let Travis make that decision on his own, man. He&#8217;s given so much to this team and to the NFL and been such a joy, not only for me to work with but for people to watch,&#8221; Mahomes said. &#8220;He knows he still has a lot of football left in him. You can see it<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s done enough to be a gold jacket guy and a first-ballot Hall of Famer,&#8221; the Chiefs quarterback added. &#8220;He&#8217;ll get to spend some time with his family and make that decision on his own.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kelce has experimented with the acting world this past year, so he will have a career outside of football if he decides to move on. However, earlier this week, he showed everyone that his heart is still with Kansas City.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For the most part, I&#8217;m planning on being a Kansas City Chief and playing football,&#8221; he said when addressing his future.<\/p>\n<p>But, after a tough loss like this, anything can happen.<\/p>\n<p>Kelce is a true leader, proving day in and day out that he is a vital piece of the franchise. Hopefully he decides to come back, because this team will not be the same when he retires.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-iframe-embed m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed mm-embed--iframe l-inline\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Travis Kelce walked off the field and out of\u00a0Caesars Superdome following the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs&#8217;
