Travis Kelce remains fully focused on the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of what could be the final three games of his decorated NFL career.

Despite the team's shocking early elimination from playoff contention last week, Kelce reiterated Friday that he will suit up for the remainder of the season.

"I signed up to be a Chief, and I love doing what I do," the star tight end said, according to ESPN's Nate Taylor. "I know I've been dreaming of being in these moments and playing for an NFL team since I was a kid. Getting back to that will give you more motivation than you could ever need. That's just how you need to go about work, whether you're in the (playoff) race or not. I'm going to make sure these guys know I'm out there giving them everything I got."

The Chiefs' home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers last week officially removed them from the playoff picture, with Patrick Mahomes tearing his ACL in the defeat.

Kelce has yet to announce whether he'll return in 2026 for what would be his 14th NFL season. The 36-year-old's contract expires at the end of the 2025 campaign.

"I think I'd rather just keep the focus on this team, right now," Kelce said when asked about his future. "All the conversations that I have with the team moving forward will be with them. It's a unique time in my life. I've got three games left. Unfortunately, I've got three games left, and I know when the season ends."

The Chiefs, who've won three Super Bowl titles with Mahomes and Kelce, face the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. They will then play the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day and the Las Vegas Raiders in their final two games of the season.
