Travy, remember your 10x in playoffs; 3 Super Bowl rings; 10 pro bowls--- all in 13yr. Football: NOT an individual sport. You are loved and appreciated.

That’s sport man. Can only imagine the dedication it takes to perform at 36 with 10 major surgeries. But despite the work, guaranteed nothing. You are a guy that’s had a thread of magic in your life, your career and you’ve paid it back to your community and team mates. When the magic runs out and it’s time to fall in love with a new passion, none of the things you’ve an achieved in football can ever be taken away from you.

Oh wow. Is this the first time Travis didn’t do his “New News” chant? My heart’s breaking for him. Love you Big Yeti ❤💛

What can anyone say, Travis? You are and have been a pillar for the Chiefs for the past 13 seasons, and you have given your all to the team and the community. Football is a TEAM sport; it isn't golf when you play against the course. You, as an individual, have achieved and have done so much in the past 13 years as part of a team. We, I especially, could not be more proud of you. Speaking as a mom and a fan.

Oh Travis, where to begin...You have brought such happiness to so many people. You are a champion on the field and off. You are human and not everything always goes the way we hope no matter how much we train, study, work or pray for. Always be proud of yourself! You seem to me to be an amazing young man. You are winning at this thing called life. Get up and get going and keep that wonderful smile on your face.

You were a big part of 3 Superbowl Wins. Appreciate you. All you have done. You take the good with the bad. You are your biggest critic. Respect you.

I have been watching since the late 80s/early 90s, Chiefs should never hang their heads on one lost season. Before Mahomes there was never a Superbowl run until now. Love my Chiefs always no matter what! ♥️

Pat said it before the game and it still holds true. “We have to beat Ourselves”.
