Travis Kelce is enjoying his time with the Kansas City Chiefs, but his friend Machine Gun Kelly is about to make him an offer he can't resist.
During the November 29 episode of Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, 33-year-old Kelly called in to pitch an opportunity on behalf of their mutual hometown of Cleveland, Ohio.
Kelly (real name Colson Baker) wasted no time in getting to the point with his question for Travis, 34, and his brother, Jason Kelce. "I'll give you $500,000 in cash, plus the same amount to our high schools, and daily breakfast and coffee from my restaurant if you just come home and put on these [Cleveland Browns] colors," he said. Travis and Jason burst into laughter at the offer, with Travis admitting, "You know that was the original dream, dawg!"

Born in Houston, Texas and raised in Cleveland, Kelly reiterated his offer, promising to also provide free DJ gigs. "Come home, Trav! Embrace these colors and light up the city," he said. "There's no need to make a decision right now, but know that my offer is genuine and waiting. I'll create beats in the locker room daily. I'll even set up a studio in the closet if that's what it takes to bring Travis back home."
Travis acknowledged Kelly’s “intriguing” offer, knowing their affinity for Cleveland's east side. However, he is content with his position as a tight end for the Chiefs, jokingly saying he would consider Kelly’s offer only if Jason, a center for the Eagles, considers it.
Kelly agreed to the condition but pointed out that the brothers would have to divide the initial $500,000 payment if they both decided to join the Browns.
"I understand completely," Jason said in response to the potential decrease in pay. "As long as I get the coffee."

Travis reached 11,000 receiving yards earlier this month during the Chiefs' game against the Las Vegas Raiders, making him the fourth and fastest tight end to reach that milestone. His girlfriend, Taylor Swift, "liked" the post on the Chiefs' official Instagram account that highlighted his record-breaking achievement.
