Why Travis Kelce chose to sit out Chief’s Season Finale?
34 years old Travis Kelce has the record for NFL tight ends with his 7 consecutive years. He sat out Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Chargers for the Chiefs. Travis fell 16 yards short of reaching 8 straight 1000-yard seasons.
When Chiefs head coach was asked about it, Andy Reid said that Travis pass rusher Chris Jones to appear in the game in pursuit of a $1.25 million bonus for reaching 10 sacks this season. Andy also said that it could buy a lot of cheeseburgers. Andy said of Kelce,
“He is a humble, humble guy. It’s different because of the financial part of it with Chris, he [Kelce] didn’t want to be selfish, or come across as selfish — all the players wanted him to play, but he just goes, ‘You know what, I don’t like the way it feels,’ — he’s not into that. He chose not to play.”
“I completely understand it, but that’s him. Most guys would’ve gone out and probably done it, but he said, ‘I’ve got a lot of records, this one here, I’m not gonna do it this way.”
