“I’m excited for these next couple of games … to finish this season off,” he continued. “I’ll reevaluate it like I always do [and] I’ll probably tell myself how much I love this thing and I’ll come back next year.

“It’s just something that you have to keep into perspective and I never want to get to the point where I’m not helping this team win or I’m hurting this team more than I’m helping this team.”

Kelce explained that as long as he’s playing “good football,” fans will continue to see him “in Chiefs uniform.”

At the start of the 2024-25 season, the “New Heights” podcaster admitted he was “struggling in terms of stats” but the Chiefs were somehow finding “ways to win games.”

“We’re not playing our best football,” Kelce said on his podcast in September, acknowledging he has “not really [received] a lot of opportunities” to make plays on the field.

In December, Kelce also opened up about his recent lack of chemistry on the field with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, saying it was “f–king frustrating.”

The tight end explained he wouldn’t want to stay on the Chiefs if he was hurting the team.

Kelce has been open about his frustration on the field during the 2024-25 season.

Kelce has made three touchdowns this season, two less than this time last year. However, the Chiefs have prevailed on the field with 15 wins and two losses, per the NFL.

They are currently tied with the Detroit Lions for the spot as the top team this season.

Sports commentators have accused Kelce of spending the NFL off-season “partying” with Swift, 35, instead of gearing up for the season.
