Brett Veach emphatically shoots down Travis Kelce, Andy Reid retirement speculation

If Travis Kelce and Andy Reid are contemplating retirement, then it’s news to Brett Veach.

Neither the Chiefs tight end nor the head coach have given any indication that they’re considering it calling a career after Sunday’s Super Bowl. Yet there’s been consistent speculation that one or both of them could hang it up after this season – especially if they beat the 49ers on Sunday.

A win Sunday would represent the third title for both Reid and Kelce. Reid will be 66 in March, and Kelce is 34. Both are beginning to enter the territory where riding off into the sunset theoretically could be on their mind.

But the Chiefs general manager said Wednesday in an exclusive interview on Fescoe in the Morning he’s been given no indication that’s being considered.

“That is not something that I’ve heard directly,” Veach said. “I don’t buy one bit of that, for what it’s worth. Maybe I don’t know anything, but I would be shocked more than anybody – and I talk to coach every day.”

Never say never, but if it would stun the general manager of the team, that says something.
