Chiefs Star Travis Kelce Reveals He Turned Down Massive Opportunity That Most TEs Would Have Jumped All Over

Travis Kelce recently revealed having rejected a massive opportunity.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end has quite a lot going on, especially given his relationship with Taylor Swift. But he could have had a bit more on his plate had he agreed to participate in an upcoming show.

Last year, Netflix produced an immensely popular documentary called ‘Quarterback’ featuring Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes and other pro QBs. They’re following that up with a novel launch branded ‘Receiver,’ which puts the likes of Davante Adams, Justin Jefferson, George Kittle, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Deebo Samuel front and center.

Kelce was a guest on the ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast recently and revealed he was approached by the producers but didn’t want to be part of the show.

“After [Patrick Mahomes] did [Quarterback], I did get asked about it,” he said. “I just — I don’t know. I’d rather just play ball, man. I’m already doing enough with the podcast and everything. I’m way over the reality s**t, dude. I’m out on that s**t.”

Travis Kelce does have a lot going on, in truth, but perhaps his relationship was the main reason for his refusal.

The show followed the aforementioned stars throughout last season, which is when Travis and Taylor Swift began dating.

Had he agreed to be part of it, the show would have brought the new couple a lot of unwanted publicity, which would have probably made the series the most-watched in Netflix history.

It’s likely what the streaming company was going for too, but we imagine Taylor would have hated it.

NFL fans are buying into the idea that the Dallas Cowboys have been’ replaced as “America’s Team” following a bold statement from an ESPN analyst.

The Cowboys have held the “America’s Team” moniker since the late 1970s. That nickname has caused widespread debate among football fans for decades, since the Cowboys are also among the most hated teams in professional sports.

During her “First Take” appearance, ESPN’s Courtney Cronin stated that the Cowboys no longer hold the “America’s Team” moniker. Rather, she believes that nickname belongs to Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs:

“They (the Cowboys) haven’t been America’s team since the last time they won a Super Bowl (1995). You know who America’s team is? The Kansas City Chiefs…you’ve got a dynasty…The Cowboys were that back in the ’90s…

What we’re witnessing right now: All-time greatest play from someone like Patrick Mahomes…you can throw Travis Kelce in the mix there too. What makes them America’s Team is the consistency…the ability to do it no matter how many pieces are changing in and out.”

Cronin noted that the Cowboys have recorded three straight 12-win seasons but haven’t endured any playoff success in that period. Cronin cited their stunning 48-32 home loss to the seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round.
