In a recent appearance on the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, the 35-year-old superstar didn't hold back his thoughts on Tom Brady's eye-popping $375 million contract with FOX Sports, describing it bluntly as 'a [expletive] ton of money.

Travis Kelce reacts to Tom Brady's record-breaking commentator salary and hints at post-NFL future
Travis Kelce's candid reaction to Brady's historic deal—the largest in sports broadcasting history—offers more than just locker-room banter. It hints at his own post-retirement aspirations, which could include a transition into sports commentary once he decides to hang up his cleats.
'I want to see what calling a game feels like,' Kelce admitted, sharing his long-standing fascination with sports broadcasters.
'I mean, everybody saw that one. Yeah, it was a sh*t ton of money. No, I've always, I feel like, impersonated guys that call the games and stuff like that growing up. And I don't know, I thought it would always be fun. Just jump in there.'
Travis Kelce Talks NFL Retirement, Chiefs Super Bowl Loss + Bussin' With The Boys Meets Taylor Swift

Super Bowl
loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and a personal stat line that fell below his usual standards—97 receptions, 823 yards, and just three touchdowns—Kelce appears to be looking to reignite his spark.

Though retirement isn't imminent, it's clear he's entertaining life beyond the gridiron.
Brady's success off the field seems to be influencing the future Hall of Famer, not just with his FOX role but also as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and entrepreneur behind ventures like CardVault. For Kelce, whose profile has exploded further thanks to his high-profile relationship with
Taylor Swift
, the business of football is becoming just as important as the game itself.

As fans watch Kelce chase his fourth Lombardi Trophy, many will also be wondering: how long before he trades the playbook for a microphone?

I am more confident about experimenting with roles now: Mitra Gadhvi
Mitra Gadhvi Mitra with Salman Khan on the set of Sikandar 2025 has been a happening year for Mitra Gadhvi so far. While both his D-Town releases, Bhram and Mithada Maheman, fared well at the box office, he also shared screen space with Salman Khan in Sikandar. Mitra shares, 'Last year was good for me too, as people loved my character in Fakt Purusho Maate and the film did really well. I also enjoyed doing The Great Gujarati Matrimony . I am happy that the first half of 2025 has been so good for me. Mithada Maheman was a very different film, and I was eagerly waiting for Bhram to hit the screens. With Bhram doing so well and audiences accepting my character whole-heartedly, I am more confident about experimenting with roles now. I was disheartened when Bhram didn't do well initially, as we knew we had made a good film. Thankfully, things changed completely from the third day onwards. Fans sent me messages like 'This is Mitra 2.0' and 'You are not Loy (from Chhello Divas) anymore'. People have told me that they want me to play more such roles. ' The actor, who did bungee jumping in Ladakh last year, is also looking forward to taking a break. He says, 'I travel to new destinations with friends every year. In September-October, we plan to explore the beauty of Munsyari (in Uttarakhand).' 'I am keen to do an action film now' Althoughpeople have loved him incomedies like 3 Ekka, Shu Thayu? and Chhello Divas, Mitra says he is now keen to explore different genres. He shares, 'I will still do comedies, as I love the genre, but I will experiment a lot more and explore different genres now. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo I am very keen to do an action film, and I also want to play a negative lead. I have always wanted to explore different genres and now, I am finally being offered a variety of roles. ' He adds, 'I am excited about Naankhatai, my upcoming Gujarati film, which has a very heartwarming story. I am also in talks for a few other exciting projects. Usually, we see one or two big hits in a year in D-Town. But this year, we have already seen five-six movies doing well at the box office, and a few more big releases are in the pipeline. 2025 promises to be the biggest year for Gujarati cinema.' 'Salman Khan is one of the most chilled out co-stars' Sharing his experience of sharing screen space with Salman Khan in Sikandar, Mitra says, 'On the first day of the shoot in Hyderabad, my first shot was with him, where he had to slap me. Initially, I was a bit nervous, but Salman sir is one of the most chilled out co-stars. He kept cracking jokes and was singing in between the shots, which made things pretty easy for me. I never felt I needed to behave in a certain way because I was working with such a big star. '
