Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski made a bold prediction about Travis Kelce’s NFL future as the Kansas City Chiefs star faces retirement questions with one game remaining.
Kelce may have played his final home game at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night as the Chiefs fell to the Denver Broncos. He had five catches but did not score in the game.

Gronkowski and the rest of the “FOX NFL Sunday” panel predicted what Kelce would do this offseason.
“I think he’s going to test the market and he’s going to have to compete for a championship and the Super Bowl if he comes back,” Gronkowski said. “I don’t really think that’s going to happen with the Kansas City Chiefs.
“It’s going to be kind of a rebuilding year. Maybe they have the potential to do that. But also, he has so many opportunities outside of football. Is his heart in the place of, ‘Hey, what’s the next adventure for me?’ or ‘Do I really like football?'”

Kelce is in the final year of his contract and has broken every Chiefs receiving record during his 13-year career in Kansas City. The possibility of Kelce playing elsewhere hasn’t really been mentioned in the rumors, but Gronkowski retiring from the New England Patriots to play a few more seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was also a shock.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Howie Long also wondered what Kelce would return to if he chose to play one more season with the Chiefs.
Kansas City will be crippled in terms of salary cap space, while Patrick Mahomes will be coming off a devastating knee injury that ended his 2025 season.
