Last season Kelce fell 16 yards short of his eighth straight 1,000-yard season. Kelce missed the first game of the season with a knee injury and sat out the final game to rest the playoffs. Seven consecutive 1,000-yard seasons is a record for his position.

He will turn 35 in October.

Kelce, who has been selected to nine straight Pro Bowls and is a four-time first-team All-Pro, had 93 receptions for 984 yards and five touchdowns last season.

In the postseason, he added 32 catches for 355 yards and four touchdowns as he helped the Chiefs win their second straight Super Bowl and third overall in five seasons.

Kelce, 34, has 907 receptions for 11,328 yards and 74 touchdowns in 11 NFL seasons. In 22 postseason games, he had an NFL record 165 catches for 1,903 yards and 19 touchdowns.
