Andy Reid issues hilarious response to Travis Kelce after Chiefs star’s ‘wear and tear’ request amid retirement talk

If Travis Kelce wants more ‘wear and tear’ in Kansas City next season, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is more than happy to give it to him.

Kelce discussed his future as a Kansas City Chiefs player earlier this week after being quizzed on retirement four months shy of his 35th birthday.

He has since gone on to claim three Super Bowl rings, the third of which will be presented to him during a special ceremony for the team on Thursday night.

The three-time Super Bowl winner dismissed the notion that he could soon hang up his cleats, while even calling on Reid and Co to keep his work load high in the 2024-25 season.’Wear and tear me baby,’ he told reporters. ‘I’m ready for it, man. Put the load on me.’

After hearing those comments this week, Reid issued a hilarious response to Kelce as the Chiefs prepare to ramp up their practice schedule in the offseason.

Despite gearing up for his 12th season, the iconic tight end is adamant that he will keep playing football ‘until the wheels fall off’.

‘[But] hopefully, that doesn’t happen anytime soon,’ Kelce said on Tuesday.

‘I really can’t put a timeframe on (retirement). I love coming to work every single day.

‘Obviously, I know there’s opportunities outside of football for me. You have to keep in perspective that I’m still a little kid when I come into this building, man.

‘I know I’m 34 years old, but I have a love to do this right here, in the middle of the heat in June. I love coming to work every single day.’
