When the Kansas City Chiefs play the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, Travis Kelce will begin his twelfth NFL season.

The 34-year-old told Chiefs general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid that he believes he has two “good years” left in his career, a team source told The Athletic.

The three-time Super Bowl champion signed a two-year, $34.25 million contract extension in June that runs through the 2025-26 season.

The contract extension made Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the league for the first time in his career.

Last season, the nine-time Pro Bowler had 93 receptions for 984 yards and scored five touchdowns during the regular season. It was the first time since 2015 that the tight end had no more than 1,000 receiving yards in a season.

After a rest in Week 18, Kelce dominated the playoffs, hauling in 32 receptions for 355 yards and three touchdowns during the Chiefs’ second straight Super Bowl run.

Jason Kelce asked his brother Travis how he was feeling after training camp on a recent episode of “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce.”
