Travis Kelce 'might be almost done', claims unnamed GM from rival NFL team as 'his body is not recovering' later in the season - after Taylor Swift's boyfriend made retirement hint in an interview

Travis Kelce's career could almost be over, an unnamed general manager in the NFL has claimed. 

The tight end and the Kansas City Chiefs suffered their second loss on the bounce Sunday against the Buffalo Bills with the defeat coming just weeks after he hinted at possibly retiring.

'It is funny you say that,' the unnamed general manager told The Athletic. 'I was watching him run down on that Hail Mary (against Green Bay), and I was thinking he might be almost done. I say that understanding he has been productive at times this year. 

'But you know what the first sign of decline for a player like Travis Kelce is? That he is not the same player late in the season. It means his body is not recovering.' 

Kelce has spent the last decade cementing a legacy as perhaps the greatest tight end in history, most recently becoming the fastest one ever to reach 11,000 career yards (154 games). 

But at 34 years of age, the NFL veteran hinted in an interview with The Wall Street Journal last month that retirement could soon be on the cards.

'That's the only thing I've never really been open about, the discomfort. The pain, he said about the injuries he has picked up over the years. 

'The lingering injuries - the 10 surgeries I've had that I still feel every single surgery to this day.'
