The back-to-back underperformances raised eyebrows, with fans questioning the future of the 35-year-old.
Could these struggles signal the end of Kelce’s illustrious career?

However, Brett Veach revealed a different angle when asked about Kelce’s future with the Chiefs.
Despite the underwhelming postseason, Veach remains confident that Kelce isn’t done yet.

And with one more year left on his contract, it seems Kelce will have another shot at reclaiming his place at the top.
Veach expressed optimism about the future, saying, “We’re excited to get him back and get him going.”
For the Chiefs, the possibility of Kelce returning healthy and hungry for another title is a huge relief.
