Travis Kelce doesn't think his brother Jason is quite done with football yet.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end addressed retirement rumors about his Philadelphia Eagles center brother during Super Bowl media day this week, saying he believes Jason will be on the field Week 1 next season in Brazil.
"I think so. I don't know. I'm not a betting man, but I think he's got some football left in him. ... What are the odds? I don't even know. I'm going to leave that up to him," Travis Kelce said.

Jason Kelce faced retirement rumors throughout the 2023 season and has openly admitted to considering walking away. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Kelce told teammates he was retiring after the Eagles' Wild Card Round loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a report Kelce denied on his podcast.
"I just don't think you're in a position after a game like that to really make that decision. I just don't," Kelce said "There's too much emotion in the moment. There's too much going down in the moment to really fully grasp that decision.
"I'm not trying to be dramatic and continue to draw this thing out. I'm really not. It's just something I think, when it's time to officially announce what's happening in the future, it'll be done in a way that's definitive and pays respect to a lot of people and individuals that have meant a lot to me, what has led to the career I've had. I don't think that it would be respectful or even accurate to be able to do that right after a game like that."
Kelce has spent his entire 14-year career with the Eagles, making seven Pro Bowls and six All-Pro teams. He remains arguably the NFL's best center, earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2023.
The Eagles would undoubtedly be open to bringing Kelce back. He's agreed to new contracts each of the last two offseasons and is under contract for next season at a bargain $10.2 million cap number.
