Travis Kelce in Talks with Netflix for Major Streaming Role (Excluding)

Travis Kelce is already planning his next power moves as fans eagerly await an announcement on his NFL future.

Kelce, 36, is in talks with Netflix to “serve as their exclusive sports correspondent,” a source exclusively told. Us every week.

The terms of a potential deal are “still being finalized, but discussions are well advanced,” according to the source.

Netflix had no comment when contacted by Us Weekly.

Another source exclusively told Us that Kelce “has had discussions with his team about possibly retiring and not playing football next season.” These discussions focused on what his next career move would be if he decided to retire.

Kelce implied that he was still trying to decide about his future on the Wednesday, Jan. 7 episode of his podcast, “New Heights.”

“It’s a hard thing to deal with, but at the same time, I think if my body can heal and rest and I can trust that I can go out there and do another 18, 20, 21 weeks, I think I would do it in a heartbeat,” he said. “I think right now it’s just about finding that answer and seeing how the body feels after this game and when everything stabilizes.”

If he decides to take the television route, Kelce could command an annual salary “between $10 million and $20 million.” AthleticsIt is André Marchand reported Monday January 5.

Netflix has become a major player in live sports content in recent years, streaming NFL games for the first time in 2024.

Later this year, Netflix will begin streaming several live MLB events each season, in addition to its partnership with WWE and live boxing content.

Former ESPN anchor Elle Duncan signed a multi-year deal in December to lead its live sports coverage. She will make her debut during Skyscrapers live January 23 during the free solo climber Alex Honnold attempts to climb Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taiwan.

As for Kelce, the future Hall of Fame tight end discussed retirement speculation after the Kansas City Chiefs’ season ends on Sunday, January 4.

“I have so much love for this team, this organization and the people here, so I’m going to spend time with them, go to the exit meetings tomorrow, get closer to the family and figure things out,” Kelce told reporters after the Chiefs’ loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kelce was faced with the same decision last offseason after the Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. At the time, Kelce said he “knew right away” he wanted to come back for another season.

“Who knows? Either it hits me fast or I have to take some time,” Kelce said. “I think last year was a little easier.”

Kelce’s decision is met with new intrigue as the NFL star prepares to marry his fiancée. Taylor Swift.

Swift, 36, and Kelce got engaged in August.

Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelcewho faced a similar retirement problem in 2024, advised the Chiefs star to take his time to decide what the future will look like.

“In my opinion, to make that decision you have to step away from the game a little bit,” Jason said on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown in December. “Play these last three games, enjoy them with your teammates, enjoy them with your coaches. The team will be different whether you come back next year or not.”

Two months after Jason, 38, retired, he signed a three-year, $24 million deal with ESPN.

The network then reportedly won a bidding war with CBS, NBC and Prime Video.
