Cris Carter Calls Travis Kelce's 14th NFL Season His 'Last Dance'

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 24

Summary

  • Cris Carter fueled fresh retirement talk by posting that Travis Kelce is preparing for “THE LAST DANCE” ahead of the Chiefs tight end’s 14th NFL season.
  • The Hall of Famer tied that prediction to Kelce’s long-running offseason training setup, saying he and strength coach Andrew Spruill have worked with him since before his rookie year.
  • Kelce had only ended retirement speculation in March by confirming he would return, and Carter’s post drew pushback from fans who said Kelce should announce any exit himself.
  • The 35-year-old enters 2026 with more than 13,000 regular-season receiving yards and 82 touchdowns as Kansas City tries to rebound from a Week 15 playoff-eliminating loss and Patrick Mahomes' 2025 ACL injury.
