In a recent podcast episode, Travis Kelce spoke about his awe of the beauty of the “City of Dreams.” His statement about potentially leaving the Chiefs if he had the chance to play abroad quickly created a buzz and quickly blew out of context. As Jason asked about the Chiefs’ powerhouse about ever leaving the KC clan, Travis laid down a hypothetical situation.
In his address, he had said, “I’m waiting for that team to play for another team other than the Chiefs…like that’s the only situation…if I get to play abroad.”
Following this, he also said that with the kind of global outreach that the NFL has today, there could be a team from London within a decade.
Fans interpreted this as a hint that he might consider leaving the Chiefs for a team in London, which led to widespread speculation. But Travis Kelce wasn’t going to let it pass away without a clarification. As the buzz around his answer grew more intense, he decided to clear the air with a comment on the New Heights Instagram post.
To clear up any misunderstandings, Kelce clarified his comments by simply writing,
“Let’s be honest here…. I’d never leave KC.”

Though the NFL’s global expansion efforts make it a possibility in the coming years, the GOAT tight end would rather stay with the Chiefs than be elsewhere. As the team heads for a three-peat in 2024, the mere possibility of Kelce’s departure certainly troubled some fans.

There were also fans who playfully teased Kelce, suggesting that his earlier comments might indicate a slight interest in playing for a London team. Some fans appreciated the need for clarification across all media platforms, which was taken seriously by the Chiefs tight end.
Despite the buzz around his potential departure, it’s clear that Travis Kelce’s fans are passionate about keeping him in Kansas City.

Kelce enjoyed his trip immensely, as already revealed by his enthusiastic reflection on the experience on his New Heights podcast.
Looking ahead, Travis Kelce is set to meet Prince Harry at the 2024 ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on July 11. This meeting comes just a month after his memorable meeting with Prince William in London. As the team heads for their third consecutive Super Bowl win under Patrick Mahomes, the tight end will surely face heightened scrutiny from fans at every step.
