I wonder how many hours...

Both of them are leaving every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears on the field that they can muster the strength to give. Hollywood could offer him a 1 billion dollar contract, but Kelce will make sure they plan it around his off-season. He may not catch Tony, but I’d put a lot more money on the likelihood of that happening than him stepping away early to pursue acting. I think he’s here as long as Andy is here and I think both of them are loving this run too much to even think about getting off now.

I think Travis would hang them up for the right opportunity.

I think the money Hollywood can offer, and that goes beyond just the idea of just being an actor will be hard to turn down.

A team offers 5 million more than any other team for a player. That money would be hard to turn down for any player. Rightfully so. Vice versa I think turning down 35+ million more a year would be even harder.

At the end of the day it's just silly stats that mean little. He is a first ballot hall of famer, has multiple championships, seen by his peers as one of the best ever at his position, if not the best ever. What else does he really need to accomplish?

I think Travis is smart enough to realize that he has a smaller window to be an NFL tight end and a much larger window to pursue Hollywood or whatever the **** he wants to do after he can’t play football anymore. If you think his career is just filled with silly stats that mean little to him then you haven’t been paying attention to the type of person Kelce is. Football is everything to him and I guarantee if you offer him a chance at being the unanimous best tight end to ever play the game (based on those silly little stats) or a 20 billion dollar job judging Victoria secret model competitions he’s taking the Tight End option every single time. When you’re rich and successful it is a lot harder to tempt you with buckets of cash to leave the thing you love most. He’s not getting persuaded by any job in Hollywood to leave his first and only love.

He's made a ton of money in the NFL and it's a game that he loves. Once he hangs them up, then he knows he's done for good and will never play again. No amount of money is going to pull him away from football. That's actually one of the dumber things I've ever heard. He's on limited time with football, but he has the rest of his life to act, if that's even what he wants to do.

It is dumb thing to realize that a substantial increase in pay is not an easy thing to turn down? What makes you think all these guys want to play till middle age wearing down their bodies into a pulp chasing yardage stats? The idea that they love the game is the main reason keeping them playing football is built in kid dreams and fandumb.

I never said any thing about being an actor. I could see Travis Kelce taking on Michael Strahan/Ryan Seacrest type gigs. Great feel for the moment, smooth delivery, great off the cuff. Unless you have been under a rock, the initiation for him out of sports into entertainment has already begun.

This idea that everyone can be bought off with enough money thrown at them is a capitalistic delusion by people who don’t understand what it’s like to be a multi-millionaire already. There are plenty of people in this world that don’t let the almighty dollar control them. Kelce has shown he is definitely one of those people in his past contract “negotiations” I don’t know what makes you think he’s gonna suddenly become a sell-out now.

I watch every episode.

WTF are you on to come up with that nonsense? A person looking out and seeking the best financial opportunities for themselves is being a sell out?

Kelce has a net worth around 20 million dollars. You’re just being obtusely reeruned if you think he should start worrying about his finances instead of his football legacy. There isn’t a single bachelor in America that couldn’t live off of 20 million dollars and be happy for the rest of their lives.
