Chiefs coach Andy Reid confirmed on Friday that there is ongoing communication between the team and Kelce's representatives about a new contract. "There is communication," Reid said. "That's the main thing. As long as there's communication, I'm good. That means people want to move forward."
Kelce, who is set to become a free agent for the first time in his career, has faced retirement rumors recently. However, indications point to the tight end potentially returning for a 14th season with the Chiefs. Reid noted that while Kelce "doesn't need the money" due to other endeavors, he won't play for the minimum as his value to the organization remains high.
