Chiefs News: Travis Kelce may cause a broadcasting bidding war

The Kansas City Chiefs are focused on the task at hand this season, returning to the postseason and potentially the Super Bowl.

Legendary tight end Travis Kelce re-signed with the team this offseason with that in mind. Once that mission is complete, Kelce’s off-field talents could be in very high demand in 2027.

“Last year, Travis Kelce and Greg Olsen were inquiring with Amazon about whether or not the Prime Video spot would be available this year, and Kirk Herbstreit was still under contract,” Mike Florio said on Pardon My Take. “So, Kelce was looking at this last year. He’s already got the relationship with Amazon with New Heights, but his brother’s already got the relationship in place with ESPN, and he’s going to be the one.

“He’s going to be the one they all want. And as it stands, CBS is going to be looking, ESPN is going to be looking, and Prime Video did that extension with Herbstreit, which basically has a clause that says if we find anyone better, we can tear up your contract. So there could be a three-way bidding war for Travis Kelce, and I think they’re all going to want him. And I think he’s going to be in a booth somewhere next year.”

“I couldn’t believe it, because … I sprinted downfield to cover (on the punt that was blown dead by penalty),” Araiza said. “So I’m dead tired. My cardio is not very good. I don’t really work on it that much. I get back to the line of scrimmage, thinking, ‘What do I want to do? Hit the ball in the same direction, maybe switch it up?

“And then I see the look, and I’m like, ‘No way.’ Sure enough, it worked out.”

One big key to the fake’s success was how Araiza sold a punt look to the Raiders upon taking the snap from James Winchester.

Bold Prediction No. 1: Running Back Emmett Johnson Sees Largest Workload

The Chiefs have been singing the fifth-round pick’s praise since training camp. He has done everything the team has asked and done it well. However, with running back Kenneth Walker III running all over opposing defenses, Johnson has just 16 rushes for 56 yards and five receptions for 74 yards. The Chiefs have hinted that a larger role was coming for the rookie, but it hasn’t happened yet.
