TRAVIS Kelce and Patrick Mahomes have given the Kansas City Chiefs a glitzy pre-season boost—and there’s plenty more to come if they land Super Bowl glory.
The Chiefs are still hurting after being pummeled by the Philadelphia Eagles in last season’s NFL showpiece in New Orleans.

But with Chiefs legend Kelce now in the twilight of his glittering career, the tight-end has teamed up with superstar quarterback Mahomes to make sure Andy Reid’s side is in the mood to land the big one next February.
The U.S. Sun understands all the players and staff have been given a luxury package to get them pumped ahead of their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 5. The haul included Rolex watches, plush Louis Vuitton products, and some of the finest Italian wines.
A well-placed insider, who is close to Kelce and Mahomes, said the legendary duo have “gone big again” with their gift giving because of the importance of the new NFL campaign.
The total cost is an eye-watering $1 million—but it will all be worth it if the Chiefs are crowned champs once again.
According to the source, if the Chiefs land their fourth Super Bowl in five years, Kelce, 35, may finally call it a day.
The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed at the end of last season that Kelce was hell-bent on carrying on and signed a new two-year deal. But scooping another ring could be enough for him to walk away for good, says the source.
“They know there’s a strong possibility this could be Travis’s final season,” said the insider.
“That’s why they are going big now.”
There is also an extra incentive to landing glory on February 8 in Santa Clara—an all-expenses-paid trip to Europe.
The U.S. Sun has been told Kelce and Mahomes are eyeing luxury spots in Ibiza and Sardinia, with team owners indicating they can use the team plane to make the trip to Europe.
Kelce, as revealed by The U.S. Sun, is obsessed with the Italian way of life and is looking at places to buy in Lake Como with girlfriend Taylor Swift.
“It’s a great incentive for the team,” the source continued, “as they know they want to bounce back after failing to win the title last season.”
Each player was given a $17,000 package of gifts in the last few weeks.
This included the Rolex Air-King, a 40 mm watch made of Oystersteel, which costs a cool $7,750 each. A whopping 40 were bought, at a collective cost of $310,000. Another 40 Rolex Explorer models were also snapped up for $318,000.
The Chiefs pair also spent $280,000 on 80 Louis Vuitton backpacks, which retail for $3,500 each. The designer bags are made from Damoflage Black coated canvas, a new pixelated version of the classic Damier pattern.

The bag has cowhide-leather trim, adjustable shoulder straps, and a flap opening with a press stud and drawstring closure. It includes two side pockets, an inside tablet pocket, and a zipped pocket.
A further $96,000 was splashed on super cool pocket bags which, according to the official Louis Vuitton description, give an “effortless cool” look.
There was also $272,000 spent on glitzy luggage which sells for $3,400 each. To toast what could be an epic campaign, everyone was treated to a $339 bottle of Giuseppe Mascarello Monprivato Barolo red wine.
“Travis and Patrick are happy to give them these presents to show how much they care,” added the source.
“They want to show them some serious love before the season starts.”
