NFL star Travis Kelce didn’t attend the Kansas City Chiefs’ recent OTA session, which has garnered significant attention. The phrase “Is Travis Kelce retiring?” quickly gained traction on social media, with fans questioning whether Kelce might be stepping away from the game.
Here is why ‘Is Travis Kelce Retiring?’ trend going viral
Recently, the phrase ‘Is Travis Kelce Retiring?’ has been trending. Speculation about Kelce’s retirement began gaining traction after fans noticed his absence from the Kansas City Chiefs’ second round of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) on Monday. As the team hit the field and shared pictures from the session, Kelce’s noticeable absence quickly sparked questions online. This fueled retirement rumors that began trending across social media.
However, Kelce was absent from OTA due to a different commitment. He had spent the weekend participating in the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City alongside his brother Jason Kelce, teammate Patrick Mahomes, and several Hollywood stars.
Despite the retirement rumors, there is no indication that Kelce is planning to retire anytime soon. In fact, he has been highly involved in offseason work. During earlier OTA sessions, he was highly active. He was running extra drills, mentoring younger players, and pushing the team on the field. According to a Marca insider, “Travis is not just a player, he’s a mentor and a coach on the field. His energy during OTAs is contagious, and it’s clear the team feeds off that.”
Off the field, Kelce also made headlines for supporting girlfriend Taylor Swift. While he was at the fundraiser, Swift was in New York celebrating her new ownership of her first six albums. She spent time with close friends Jack Antonoff and Selena Gomez. Meanwhile, Kelce quietly cheered her on by liking her announcement post on Instagram. Swift and Kelce seem to be going strong, often spending time together. They were last seen together over Memorial Day weekend in Florida.
