Kelce has been a key part of the Chiefs' success since being drafted in 2013, winning three Super Bowls in the past 12 seasons. The tight end has played in 177 games and has recorded 12,259 yards and 78 TDs receiving.

However, Kelce struggled to be at his usual best on the field last season. He tallied just 823 yards and three touchdowns receiving, and the Chiefs lost to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. His play raised questions about the tight end's future in the league. However, in the end, he decided to return for the final year of the two-year contract he signed in April 2024.

This season, Travis Kelce has once again been struggling on offense. In three games, he has recorded just 134 yards and one touchdown on 10 receptions.

In a 20-17 loss to the Eagles in Week 2, he dropped a critical pass in the fourth quarter that could have been the Chiefs' only chance of winning the game. It raised more doubts about the deterioration of his skills on the field.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid addresses his heated moment with Travis Kelce during Week 3 showdown against the Giants

In a quick halftime interview with NBC reporter Melissa Stark, Chiefs coach Andy Reid gave a straightforward answer when questioned about his key players expressing their frustrations on the field.

"We see a lot of frustration and emotion from your key players, star players, on the sideline. What's your message to the team?" Stark asked.

"That's OK. We need some juice. So, that's good," Reid replied.

At that point, the Chiefs led 6-9 over the Giants on the strength of three field goals from place-kicker Harrison Butker.
