Chiefs' Chris Jones Appears to Urge Travis Kelce to Return: 'Got Unfinished Business'

It certainly seems like Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones wants to run things back with Travis Kelce still on the team in 2025.

Jones took to social media Tuesday and said, "My dawg got to come back we got unfinished business."

That unfinished business surely stems from Kansas City's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, which prevented the Super Bowl 57 and Super Bowl 58 champs from becoming the first in NFL history to win three straight Lombardi Trophies.

Jones' comment came on the same day that Kelce's future was a topic of discussion at the NFL Scouting Combine. 

Chiefs general manager Brett Veach told reporters the team plans on the tight end returning. Veach added, "how we left at the end of the season is that he was fired up. I think we left it as he'd be back and were excited to get him back and get him going."

Kelce addressed his future on the Feb. 12 episode of his New Heights podcast and said, "I know everybody wants to know whether I'm playing next year and right now, I'm just kicking everything down the road. I'm kicking every can I can down the road. I'm not making any crazy decisions."

The future Hall of Famer returning for just one season would make some sense, as the 2025 campaign is set to be the last one on his current deal. It would also give him an opportunity to go out on top as a Super Bowl champion if he can help lead the Chiefs to another Lombardi Trophy next season.

Yet Kelce doesn't have anything left to prove at this point either and will be 36 years old for much of the 2025 campaign.

His resume includes three Super Bowl titles, 10 Pro Bowl selections, four First-Team All-Pro nods and seven years with more than 1,000 receiving yards. He is widely considered one of the top few tight ends in NFL history, and that won't change whether he returns next season or not.

But Jones seemed to indicate he wants Kelce back as the Chiefs look to bounce back from their Super Bowl loss.
