Travis Kelce isn\u2019t one to be shy about sharing his thoughts on a wide variety of topics.<\/p>\n

On his podcast,\u00a0New Heights<\/em>, he and his brother Jason have opened up with their takes on everything from\u00a0movies\u00a0to\u00a0the NFL rulebook\u00a0and most everything in between.<\/p>\n

On last week\u2019s episode, the topic of conversation was\u00a0Saquon Barkley\u2019s new contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously, the Kelce brothers come at any Eagles news from different perspectives\u2014Jason retired as one of the greatest players in the history of the franchise, while Travis just lost to the Birds in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

Both brothers were happy for Barkley after getting his new deal, but Travis light-heartedly criticized the amount of incentive money that was in the contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cEw,\u201d Travis said when Jason mentioned that $15 million of Barkley\u2019s contract was in the form of incentives. \u201cI don\u2019t like that. I don\u2019t like that one bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason laughed off the line, with Travis quickly following up, saying \u201cDoes he have to get a 2,000-yard season every year? F—.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation begins around the 39:30 mark.<\/p>\n
