Kansas City Chiefs

2:23 PM PT -- According to Adam Schefter ... the Chiefs will give Kelce a one-year, $12 million deal that can max out at $15 million.

He's baaaaaaack!

Travis Kelce has reportedly made up his mind on his NFL future, and the 36-year-old plans on lacing up his cleats for the 2026 NFL season ... and all signs point to him running it back with the Kansas City Chiefs!

Multiple NFL insiders reported Monday that Kelce and the Chiefs were working toward a deal that would keep him with Patrick Mahomes and the rest of the K.C. squad.

The news comes after Kelce was reportedly considering his options following a disappointing season with the Chiefs, who finished third in the AFC West.

The Kansas City Chiefs' decision to ship Trent McDuffie outta town sent shockwaves through the NFL world Wednesday morning ... and his former quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, is bummed out about the move -- posting a one-word response shortly after the news broke.

"Damn." That is all Mahomes had to say after the Chiefs agreed to send McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for a slew of draft picks -- including the 29th overall spot in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Even Xavier Worthy took to social media to address the move, replying with two crying emojis and a "noooooooooooooooo."

Travis Kelce's used to big hits while playing sports ... but he's not usually the guy doling them out -- and certainly not with a golf ball!

The Kansas City Chiefs star played the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Friday ... but ran into some trouble on the 18th hole -- when he shanked a ball that smacked a bystander.

Check out the clip ... the woman is being attended to by several staff members when Travis wades through the crowd.

Travis Kelce’s NFL future is hanging in the balance … and Mama Kelce says the final call belongs to him!

Donna Kelce tells TMZ Sports she’s giving her superstar son total freedom as he weighs his options of returning to the Kansas City Chiefs, signing elsewhere in free agency or calling it a legendary career.

“You know, I just want him to do what he feels comfortable doing,” Donna told us this week outside LAX. “He’s gotta talk to people in his life to decide what he wants to do.”

“So I’m not sure. We’ll see what happens!!!”

Travis Kelce's mom, Donna Kelce, would do anything for her son ... except sign an NDA ... at least according to a chat we had with the famous matriarch at LAX today.

When our cameraperson asked Donna if Travis and his fiancée, Taylor Swift, had her sign a non-disclosure agreement, Donna scoffed at the idea.

She said, "They know I can keep a secret," with a wry grin.

New details have emerged in the case against former New York Jets first-round pick Darron Lee after authorities say he murdered his girlfriend ... with police detailing the gruesome scene they found at the home and prosecutors indicating they will seek the death penalty.

Lee appeared in a Tennessee courtroom on Wednesday following Friday's arrest for first-degree murder and tampering with evidence in the death of Gabriella Carvalho Perpetuo.

Prosecutors said there was the presence of "blood in every room," including inside a vehicle in the garage. They say Lee was the one who called 911, telling dispatchers Perpetuo was unresponsive and that he believed she fell in the shower.

Darron Lee -- a former first-round draft pick for the New York Jets -- was arrested and charged in Tennessee for allegedly murdering his girlfriend.

According to multiple outlets ... cops were dispatched to a home near Ooltewah -- about two and a half hours outside of Nashville -- for a report of CPR in progress.

After arriving on the scene, cops say they located the victim and attempted life-saving measures, but she later succumbed to her injuries.

Travis Kelce just shared a major detail about his wedding with Taylor Swift ... telling TMZ Sports the reception will be a rager fueled by an insane amount of Garage Beer!!

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar spoke with us outside his "New Heights" podcast's Super Bowl party on Wednesday ... and we asked how many kegs of his beer brand will be available to guests after his ceremony.

Based on Kelce's answer, one thing's for sure -- it's definitely NOT going to be a dry wedding.

Patrick Mahomes got Chiefs fans' hopes up for approximately one minute on Wednesday ... when he tweeted out his excitement about Travis Kelce -- but sorry folks, it was NOT about his NFL future.

The three-time Super Bowl winner had Chiefs Kingdom in a brief frenzy after he posted a message in support of his longtime favorite target.

"Let’s go!!!!! @tkelce🎯🎯🎯," No. 15 said minutes ago.

Brittany Mahomes is usually spending this week gearing up to watch her hubby, Patrick, and the Kansas City Chiefs play in the Super Bowl ... but since the team fell short of the playoffs, she's spending her time in the cold building an igloo!!

Mahomes shared her DIY project on Instagram ... and despite having some snow on the ground, it wasn't enough to support their building alone.

Inspired by an idea on the internet, she bought a ton of aluminum trays, filled them with water and dye, and left them outside for a few days to freeze.

Rashee Rice has yet to address abuse allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Dacoda Jones, earlier this month ... and that remained the case when we directly asked him about them at LAX on Tuesday.

TMZ Sports asked the 25-year-old for his side of the story after Jones, who never mentioned Rice by name in the allegations, shared photos of bruises and wounds on her body.

Rice, who wore a purple hat with a black sweatshirt at the airport, elected to stay quiet ... despite the NFL and his employer, the Kansas City Chiefs, acknowledging the claims ... with the former launching an investigation.

Laila Edwards' family will get to watch her in the Olympics thanks to a huge donation from Travis and Jason Kelce -- and the hockey star tells TMZ Sports she can't thank the brothers enough for the assist.

The University of Wisconsin standout was named to Team USA's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics earlier this month ... and a GoFundMe was launched to help some of her family get to Italy to see her compete.

The Kelce brothers pitched in $10K, which got her way over her goal -- something she said was unbelievable.

6:03 PM PT -- A rep for Kansas City PD tells TMZ ... "Generally we do not comment in pending litigation to ensure fairness for all sides involved. Anything we have previously said on the subject in the process of your reporting is available for use, but nothing further at this time."

Trey Songz is fighting back about an arrest that happened half a decade ago ... suing the Kansas City Police Department over an incident at a Kansas City Chiefs NFL playoff game.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Trey claims he was at the AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in January 2021 and was in his seat at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri when folks nearby started heckling him because of his celeb status.

Trey claims the verbal heckling escalated to threats and harassment, resulting in security and police being called to his seat ... and we were first to obtain video of the police interaction.

The NFL is looking into the domestic violence allegations made by Rashee Rice's ex ... with the league confirming it is investigating the matter.

Dacoda Jones -- who has two kids with the Kansas City Chiefs receiver -- dropped the disturbing claims on Instagram on Wednesday ... saying she was abused and treated terribly throughout an eight-year relationship.

She claimed she was even abused while pregnant ... and was locked out of her home in freezing temperatures.

The Kansas City Chiefs are addressing the recent social media post made by Rashee Rice's ex ... where she claimed she was abused during the course of an eight-year relationship, including when she was pregnant.

The shocking allegations were made as part of a lengthy statement shared to Dacoda Jones' Instagram account on Wednesday ... when said she kept quiet for years to protect her former partner's image ... but can no longer stay silent.

Travis Kelce hinted at his future on Wednesday's "New Heights" podcast -- he believes he WILL return for his 14th NFL season ... as long as his body can take it.

While joking he's currently "jobless" as an upcoming NFL free agent, Travis told his brother, Jason, he's looking forward to being a "regular human" over the next month as he mulls over his next step.

"I don’t know, it’s a tough thing to navigate," Kelce said, "but at the same time, if my body can heal up, rest up and I can feel confident that I can go out there and give it another 18-, 20-21 week run, I think I would do it in a heartbeat."
