Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Charles Omenihu has publicly expressed his desire for teammate and star tight end Travis Kelce to continue his NFL career, emphasizing that the team cannot conclude their journey on the note of their recent Super Bowl defeat.
Following the Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, Kelce, 35, has been contemplating his future in the league. Omenihu, during an appearance on Fox Sports’ “The Facility,” conveyed a heartfelt message to Kelce: “Big dawg, like, we, the whole organization, can’t go out like that.” He further expressed his belief in Kelce’s enduring capabilities, stating, “I think Trav has a lot left. I think Trav is an extreme competitor. I think he’s somebody that loves the game.”
Kelce’s decision is pivotal for the Chiefs, especially after a season that fell short of their championship aspirations. The tight end has been a cornerstone of the team’s offense, and his potential departure would mark a significant transition. Omenihu’s sentiments reflect a collective hope within the organization that Kelce will return to pursue another championship run.
As the Chiefs prepare for the upcoming season, the organization and its fans await Kelce’s decision, hopeful that the veteran tight end will choose to continue his illustrious career and help the team strive for future successes.
