Travis Kelce plans to follow Tom Brady into NFL broadcasting when he retires after legendary quarterback struck $375MILLION Fox deal
Travis Kelce has opened up on his plans to venture into broadcasting when his NFL career eventually comes to an end.
Kelce, who has won three Super Bowl rings in his legendary 11-year stint with the Kansas City Chiefs, recently cooled any talk of retirement despite approaching his 35th birthday, admitting he ‘can’t put a timeframe’ on when the day will come.
While he isn’t ready to hang up his cleats just yet, the Chiefs tight end already appears to have his post-football plan mapped out.
On the latest episode of his and brother Jason’s New Heights podcast Travis revealed he wants to follow in the footsteps of both his elder sibling and Tom Brady by becoming a TV analyst.
The Kelce brothers were discussing the idea of purchasing a stake in an NFL team when Travis touched on his desire to go into broadcasting.
Amid the news that his beloved Philadelphia Eagles could be up for sale, Jason asked his brother: ‘Trav, shall we try and buy some of it?’
‘I would rather try and buy the Chiefs or be a minority stake owner in the Chiefs,’ Travis replied.
‘I don’t know that it matters how much a minority stake is, I don’t think we can afford it!’ Jason laughed.
The Kansas City star then added: ‘And also you can’t call the game or do anything like that, because of the whole Tom Brady thing. He wanted to have a minority stake in the [Las Vegas] Raiders and it messed with his TV deal.’
Brady is still in talks to purchase a minority stake in the Raiders despite putting pen to paper on a 10-year, $375million broadcasting deal with Fox Sports, with the iconic quarterback set to call NFL games on the network from next season onwards.
Jason, meanwhile, is set to join ESPN’s Monday Night Football lineup after calling time on his 13-year career in Philadelphia. However, he insists he would rip up his multi-year agreement in no time to become an owner of the Eagles.
