Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs‘ tight end, appears to be carrying a little extra weight this offseason.
The three-time Super Bowl winner claimed on Wednesday’s “New Heights” podcast that he’s been gaining weight this offseason as a controversy over his drinking ability vs brother Jason Kelce began.
Saquon Barkley, the Philadelphia Eagles running back who appeared as this week’s guest, started the debate by asking Travis and Jason which brother could outdrink the other.

Jason said, “I can definitely drink more volume. I don’t even think that’s a question,”
Travis objected to this saying,
“What? You think you could drink — you’re already down to 260,” “We’re the same weight class now.”
Jason corrected his brother, stating that his post-NFL career weight is approximately 283 pounds, but Travis reminded him that his offseason weight makes him a fair opponent.
“All right, still—it’s March. “We’re in the same weight class right now,” he explained. A brotherly back and forth ensued, but a winner was not determined.
Travis’ admission comes after the NFL star was recently photographed vacationing in the Bahamas with 14-time Grammy Award-winning girlfriend Taylor Swift, taking some well-deserved time off after the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII last month.
Following the couple’s stunning win in Las Vegas, Kelce was seen supporting Swift on her Eras Tour in Sydney and Singapore.
