On Monday, Travis Kelce formally returned for another season with his longtime team by signing a contract with the Chiefs.
When the future Hall of Fame tight end went to the Chiefs’ Kansas City facilities to sign the contract, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was there to congratulate him.

Mahomes FaceTimed his best friend and teammate rather than being present in person because he is still recovering from ACL surgery, which ended his 2025 season early. The unique interaction between friends was captured on camera by the Chiefs.
It doesn’t seem like either player was prepared for their collaboration to end, and we weren’t prepared for their time on the field to come to an end.
Following the official signing of his deal, Kelce also made a video for Chiefs Kingdom. He spends a 14th season with Kansas City.
