Holding out was seemingly never an option for Travis Kelce as the All-Pro tight end sought a pay raise.
The Chiefs recently granted Kelce's wishes by reworking his deal, but the nine-time Pro Bowler said he wasn't going to threaten a holdout if Kansas City didn't meet his contract demands.
"I'm not a guy that sits out," Kelce said on the latest episode of his "New Heights" podcast. "I'm not a guy that holds out. I'm a guy that loves coming into the building, and the Chiefs know that. So, for them to want to ... get this done for me knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears I put into this thing, I'm extremely grateful."
