The Athletic reporter Andrew Marchand has shared some suggestions regarding Travis Kelce‘s future professional ventures. In a recent episode of the Marchand Sports Media podcast, he said that the Chiefs’ tight end can have a successful career in broadcasting. “I think Travis Kelce is one who, if he retires, definitely could do TV,” Marchand suggested. “I think he wants to do games, so that’s one to watch.”
The reporter then predicted that Kelce could take the biggest spots in the media and estimated how much he could make in the field. “He’s a guy who is only going to take a No. 1 job, to me,” Marchand stated. “He’s going to get anywhere from 10 to 20 million, because he’s Travis Kelce.”
Furthermore, Kelce is already acquainted with media success thanks to his widely popular New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. The show featured some major industry titans as well as entertainment stars as guests. The episode with Kelce’s fiancée, Taylor Swift, has amassed over 24 million views on YouTube.
Meanwhile, speculations about Kelce’s potential retirement this year continue to gain traction among fans. Most recently, the future Hall of Famer shared his thoughts on the matter in a post-game interview after the Chiefs vs the Raiders game.
“I’ve got so much love for this team, this organization, and the people here,” Kelce said. “So I’ll spend some time with them, go through exit meetings tomorrow. And get close to the family and figure things out,” he stated. The Chiefs star added, “Either it hits me quick, or I’ve got to take some time. Last year was a little bit easier. I think I knew right away I wanted to kind of give this one [year] a shot. We’ll see.”
