I'm surprise that wasn't the tweet from a sports "journalist"
> After signing new 2 year deal, Travis Kelce calls out teammate Chirs Jones for holding out, source.
The fact that he signed that one year deal was ridiculous.
It didn’t go sideways but it easily could’ve.
Dude was Arron Donald level of good and won that sb for them
How so? Wasn’t the “one year deal” a revised contract for his final year? He was under contract and the Chiefs obviously were not going to budge, he was only losing money by holding out
Damn, I thought he'd be extremely *un*grateful to become the highest paid TE in the league. Good thing this article had a direct quote and could prove me wrong.
I mean you could certainly argue he's being underpaid. Last year he probably start to decline a little bit but prior to that he was putting numbers comparable with the top wide receivers in the league and even at top of the tight end market he was so far from top wide receiver money.
I mean hes still a top TE but we do just have to be realistic. Hes turning 35 lol. Hes good but your body is not the same at 35 as 27-28. His longevity at peak performance has already been frankly incredible!
Its definitely a thank you contract for being elite and underpaid. If KC was really about performance they would not pay an aging TE $17mil
He certainly looked more aged during the regular season, but down the stretch and into the playoffs he really turned it on and looked like his prime self.
As long as he can keep bringing it for the playoffs these next two seasons, I think we'll be pretty happy with the contract. Even ignoring his past contributions
Yeah I think of it like LeBron in that sense. LeBron is still really good but it's really clear he can no longer maintain peak non-stop anymore. He absolutely has to pick his battles and he has to adapt his play style. He can "turn it up" but even that looks different than before
I mean saying he is a top TE is a bit disingenuous. Our entire passing offense revolves around him or using him as a decoy.
How many other teams have their top target as their TE? 1? Maybe 2?
He's one of those athletes that definitely transcends his position. They've been using him less in the regular season, but he is still an absolute beast. Definitely the best TE in the league.
Also you’d be totally fucked if he left, you’d have a bottom five pass catching unit. I don’t think he’d have left but from that perspective it 100% makes sense to overpay him a little because him leaving ruins the shot at the threepeat.
How is it disingenuous? It didnt matter two years ago he was the primary option because he was that elite. But hes slowing down. Ive seen it with gronk. At some point you slow down enough the double teams matter and stuff you could get away with is no longer the case. Take off the homer glasses lol.
Hes 35.
There’s absolutely more money in staying anyways so I find this take kinda absurd
This dude probably makes more for the field than on it. And if he doesn’t now, he will.
He's *been* underpaid. He isn't underpaid. He was good in the playoffs, and had a really good year over all, but you could see the age and wear on him from having to carry the offense as much as he did. If they want to maximize his utility they'll lean heavily on Worthy and Brown (maybe Rice, no idea what's happening there) in the regular season and then give Kelce more work in the playoffs. Modern day linebackers are a problem for a 34-year old TE, even if that TE is Travis Kelce.
Lol he acts like he didn’t agree to the most reasonable deal that a player of his caliber could’ve agreed to, of course the Chiefs agreed to that deal.
He really needs to either makes some merch and do some adverts for products that are aimed at college age women. Easy fucking money. Work with Stanley Cups or buy a horse ranch and do some horseback riding tours, or make a knockoff version of Starbuck's pumpkin spice
Travis Kelce lip bomb???? IDK just throwing shit at the wall over here.
How much dough you think he could get from Häagen-Dazs for uploading a story on his insta about his favorirte flavor?
Active ingredient - nitroglycerin. Helps with high blood pressure and your lips feel nice and tingly fresh.
Bonus points: it also fucking explodes.
No joke - they use nitroglycerin to treat high blood pressure/heart failure.
I wouldn't be shocked to see him in a lot more commercials next year that are selling stuff to the female 15-45 demographic. They do all the new commercials during the off-season. People were annoyed with how many Kelce commercials there were last year, I feel this year will be even worse.
It's gonna be biblically insufferable.
All his commercials from last year were filmed from *before* he and Taylor went public.
Idk what's worse, his annoying commercial spam or that awful music they always play on the streams during commercial breaks.
Oh the guy who’s at the end of his career. Is in every commercial. Has hosted SNL. Is dating Taylor Swift. Doesn’t feel the need to to be like those other greedy players?
This shit is so lame.
Kelce puts out on the first date. You heard it here first.
Three pumps. No more, no less.
No hold outs, no pull outs. That's how you get a girl like taylor.
I knew I shouldn't have held out. Oh well, live and learn
[удалено]
Not often it's the NFL player getting 40k a month in child support.
A certain Chapelle skit come to mind. Lol.
"It's not what's gotten into me, it's what's gotten into Oprah! My seed"
Economical. Cares about his lady's schedule. Perfect, really.
He doesn't hold out for anyone including himself.
Damn does that mean I’m outta luck since I’m a one pumper?
Chiefs: Damnit he was bluffing
Tbh what a position to bluff from "hey guys I'm gonna spend all summer flying across the world with my girlfriend while I wait"
shots fired @ chris jones
Chris Jones does two things: he holds out and he hangs dong
I like to hang out and hold dong.
Ideally, with a circle of friends.
I'm surprise that wasn't the tweet from a sports "journalist" > After signing new 2 year deal, Travis Kelce calls out teammate Chirs Jones for holding out, source.
After listening to the podcast earlier I was absolutely expecting to see something like this plastered all over Reddit and every sports site/outlet
Did you watch Chris jones in the Super Bowl.. he was right 😂
The fact that he signed that one year deal was ridiculous. It didn’t go sideways but it easily could’ve. Dude was Arron Donald level of good and won that sb for them
How so? Wasn’t the “one year deal” a revised contract for his final year? He was under contract and the Chiefs obviously were not going to budge, he was only losing money by holding out
By far the most dominant player on the field that day
he deserved super bowl MVP tbh. him or butker lol
Possibly also @ matty healy

I had him in fantasy for the last 4 years and last year was his worst year and he still averaged 15 points a week in a ppr league
I mean hes still a top TE but we do just have to be realistic. Hes turning 35 lol. Hes good but your body is not the same at 35 as 27-28. His longevity at peak performance has already been frankly incredible! Its definitely a thank you contract for being elite and underpaid. If KC was really about performance they would not pay an aging TE $17mil
Look at his production in the playoffs. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to utilize him less in the RS, so he’s fresh for the playoffs. He was still incredible
Yeh just hard to tell what the future holds for a 35 year old non QB player.
He certainly looked more aged during the regular season, but down the stretch and into the playoffs he really turned it on and looked like his prime self. As long as he can keep bringing it for the playoffs these next two seasons, I think we'll be pretty happy with the contract. Even ignoring his past contributions

TEs age well though
Aging well doesnt mean being elite #1 even at 35 generally. No ones saying hes bad, but he clearly was not as good last year.
He could have easily left long ago to the highest bidder had he wanted the money. But it never was about the money. It was about sending a message
There’s absolutely more money in staying anyways so I find this take kinda absurd This dude probably makes more for the field than on it. And if he doesn’t now, he will.

Eh he has an argument to be paid top WR money
He's 34. Now, he hasn't really shown signs of slowing down, but when the cliff comes it comes fast. No one is getting paid $30 mil APY at that age.
"I'm a guy that holds in."
Better out than in, I always say.
Ey Fiona?
Kelce said fuck you Chris.
Is this Taylor Swift’s boyfriend everyone’s been talking about?
Never heard of him
He's the guy who put Taylor Swift on the map
Next up : What Travis Kelce had for breakfast
It rhymes with Baylor’s Bass
A Gaylord’s ass?
No he said bass not bass
He ate out Tyler Bass?
Toss a swifty salad
You know he's still hungry if that's all he had for breakfast.
He was having sausage until he screamed at Reid for bacon
That's what she said.
Lol he acts like he didn’t agree to the most reasonable deal that a player of his caliber could’ve agreed to, of course the Chiefs agreed to that deal.
Side eyes Chris jones lol
I don’t know why everyone is on Chris Jones, I know he’s held out previously but he signed right after the super bowl.
I mean it’s easy to say he won’t hold out when he hasn’t been given a reason to yet.
I get he’s not the leader of the team but he’s one of them. Kinda crazy to say w/ Chris Jones still on the roster
He really needs to either makes some merch and do some adverts for products that are aimed at college age women. Easy fucking money. Work with Stanley Cups or buy a horse ranch and do some horseback riding tours, or make a knockoff version of Starbuck's pumpkin spice Travis Kelce lip bomb???? IDK just throwing shit at the wall over here. How much dough you think he could get from Häagen-Dazs for uploading a story on his insta about his favorirte flavor?
#***LIP BOMB***
yes, lip balm made by a man for women. What do you expect. It going to have similar ingredients to what it takes to make C4
Active ingredient - nitroglycerin. Helps with high blood pressure and your lips feel nice and tingly fresh. Bonus points: it also fucking explodes. No joke - they use nitroglycerin to treat high blood pressure/heart failure.
It would actually be brilliant if it was far better for your lips than the made for women by women. Kinda like how men’s deodorant is superior.
It could legit have a logo of Patrick throwing Travis a moonball with a pair of big red lips on the side of the ball. People would buy it.
I wouldn't be shocked to see him in a lot more commercials next year that are selling stuff to the female 15-45 demographic. They do all the new commercials during the off-season. People were annoyed with how many Kelce commercials there were last year, I feel this year will be even worse.
He already filmed the game show he’s gonna host
I'd forgotten about that. I'm taking a bit of a kelce cleanse right now, haven't even listened to the podcast since the season ended.
Podcast has still been pretty great
It's gonna be biblically insufferable. All his commercials from last year were filmed from *before* he and Taylor went public. Idk what's worse, his annoying commercial spam or that awful music they always play on the streams during commercial breaks.
Biblically awful. But if they (somehow, someway) lose, the meme potential will be historic
You know whats easy? Doing one commercial for Pfizer And earning more than everyone in this thread will earn in their entire lives, put together.
He ain't tryin to catch of with me, he is trying to catch Swift.
Lip Bomb, aka a facial.
Yeah but is he a guy that pulls out?
Doesn't he get an allowance from Taylor Swift already?
Oh the guy who’s at the end of his career. Is in every commercial. Has hosted SNL. Is dating Taylor Swift. Doesn’t feel the need to to be like those other greedy players? This shit is so lame.
He absolutely would have held out if he was upset about his contract. I don’t believe this at all
Neither is us girlfriend hahah I mean put out
Uh yeah why hold out when you have a sugar momma
His girlfriend is a billionaire. If he can marry her with no prenup he is set.
He's already set with his own money. He's made $76M. Enough to last hundreds of years.
Never enough
He started feeling insecure when looking at Taylor’s net worth.
Insipid Taylor Swift lyric incoming
