Census City, Mo. Travis cails The 2024 NFL season finished with career climb at yard and touchdown respectively – 823 and three respectively. He saw that he could be near the end of one of the biggest tight end career in NFL history. At the age of 35, an advanced age for his position, he often looked average on the field – in addition to an old kellas stretch of sports during the middle of the season.
Then he caught seven passes for 117 yards and in a touchdown Cenus city chief‘Divisional playoff win Houston TexasIn the AFC Championship game, dragging an otherwise sluggish passing game.
“We all have seen it in the last few years,” said General Manager Brett Wech. “There is a period in the whole season where you like, ‘this can happen.” But when sports are the most important and lights are the most bright, it finds it somewhere. ,
At the age of 36 in October, the heads hope that in 2025 he will still be the player he knows well.
“Great people know how to find it,” Vich said. “They know where it is buried, and they know how to access it. And they cannot access it in that week and week in the week, but when they need it, they know how to find it.”
Nevertheless, the chiefs are trying to overcome the need to remove themselves from the needs of Kellas in the way they have plans to transfer the burden that the others receive in recent sessions.
In a broad receiver, they should see a comeback Rashi riceThose who were leading the league at the reception through three sports last year, 4 knee injuries before a week ended their season. They re -signed Hollywood brown And expecting a jump in production Zevier worthyWho caught 59 passes as a cheater in the previous season. At the tight end, the heads also have Noah GrayThe last season had determined the height of career in catch (40), yard (437) and touchdown (five).
This does not mean that expectations for Kails are minimal, which will play under the final year of contract expansion of $ 34.25 million signed last year.
“I hope Travis Travels will be,” Quarterback Patrica mahms Said. “Obviously, the game on the field is going to be high. He is going to go there with this mentality that we are trying to win the Super Bowl this year, which is decreasing this year last year. Then, I think there is nothing, it is the lead that he brings to the building every day. How he moves forward for example and it is a big impact that he works at a high level for our football team.
“What I have seen … he is ready to go. He is working this offsen, and he is excited for another chance to score a run on it.”
Kails has always played a high percentage of Snap for the heads, and was no different last year. In fact, he played more Snap (950) (950) than any season since 2019 and was in lineup for high percentage of aggressive plays (81.8%) of the heads.
Chief coach Andy Reid indicated that he is unlikely to change plans for Kails, saying that he needs to cut back on the time of Kellas’ game “is” not really not feeling “.
“It would be the same as last year,” said Reid. “… he is in a lot of shape, so I think he is eager to go.
“I always look at her. I always keep an eye on her. I know she is growing up. She does not know that she is growing up, but I do this. I can be a bad man in some cases, if needed.
Kellas took after some time after the loss of super bowl Lux of the heads Philadelphia eagles To decide if he wanted to play another season, his 12th in NFL. But he took his decision in a relatively low order and said that it was not a difficult option and he had a better football.
He indicated that he wanted to keep himself through a more rigorous offsen workout schedule than last year.
“I need to return this decision in March or early April,” Kails said. “You set the tone and put a diet together that attains your mindset and gets your body [right] And really from there you can start turning your skill set. So it is just everything. You have to develop every year in all stages of the game. So you already know that we started back in March and we are on track till now. ,
Even if his other numbers did not stand up to the standard of Kails last year, they still caught 97 passes, who were tied to the fourth largest clan of their career. He is still in the fifth position in the yard between tight loops, behind Brock Bovers, Tray macbridge, George Kite And Jonu SmithBut this happened during a season when rice and brown played in only a small fraction of the games.
If they remain healthy and healthy with gray, the rift of the cales and the possibility of leading the heads in the yard will end at three. It is not necessary that the chiefs see their weather as a disappointment.
“Their number would not be the same,” Vich said. “You have to accept … that he is older. He is not 28 years old. But everything goes on more efficiently when the man is out of there. He is still going to demand at least sometimes to pay attention to primary defenders due to his name and his legacy.
“We do better than having a travis on the field. I don’t know if I see it in terms of expectations for yardage or touchdown or catch. When he is on the field, he makes us better. He is also a person who makes the people around him better.”
