Andy Reid and Chiefs may have found a way to convince Travis Kelce to postpone retirement in 2026
Andy Reid is confident he can count on Travis Kelce for the upcoming season with the Kansas City Chiefs, though his future remains uncertain. The Kansas City Chiefs’ last season undoubtedly didn’t end as hoped, so all eyes are now on what’s ahead. The big question many are asking is whether Andy Reid will actually have Travis Kelce, who has been hinting for some time at the possibility of retirement. In Chiefs Kingdom, there’s confidence that the tight end’s decision could go in the team’s favor, and there’s a specific reason that could significantly help make it happen: the Chiefs plan to add Eric Bieniemy as their new offensive coordinator, a move seen as key to Kelce’s return. According to a report by Arrowhead Corner on their X account, there is strong support from the Chiefs’ roster for bringing in Bieniemy as OC, who was previously a key figure in maximizing Kelce’s talent. Bieniemy spent a decade alongside Andy Reid in Kansas City: from 2013 to 2017, he served as running backs coach, and in 2018 he was promoted to offensive coordinator during Patrick Mahomes’ first season as a starter. Starting in 2023, he joined the Commanders before eventually landing with the Bears. Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs talks with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Kelce praised Bieniemy’s work It’s clear that in this sport, players often need those who can maximize their talent or guide them through the process. Kelce decided to stick with Eric Bieniemy, praising the work he did with the Chiefs alongside Andy Reid. “I’ve been a big fan of him my entire career. He’s done unbelievable things for my skill set person and my mentality in terms of helping me grow as a player,” Kelce said time ago.

Travis Kelce is contemplating retirement following a challenging season where the Kansas City Chiefs finished with a disappointing 6–11 record. Despite the team’s struggles and the absence of Patrick Mahomes due to a torn ACL, Kelce remained a top-tier producer, finishing the 2025 campaign with 76 receptions, 851 receiving yards, and 5 touchdowns across 17 games. While he might return for one more season to chase another Super Bowl alongside a healthy Mahomes, his expiring contract and potential transition into broadcasting have left his future in Kansas City uncertain. Reid will have new faces by his side Andy Reid faces the daunting prospect of replacing both of his top lieutenants this offseason as Matt Nagy and Steve Spagnuolo are heavily linked to vacant head coaching positions. Both coordinators have already interviewed with several franchises in need of a head coach and could leave their positions alongside Reid after several years helping build one of the most successful staffs in the NFL.

Cody Bellinger rumors: NY Yankees are put on high alert amid intense NY Mets push
The New York Yankees have received a stark warning about Cody Bellinger, as they risk overlooking their competition by focusing solely on the New York Mets. The New York Yankees and New York Mets are engaged in a dog fight for Cody Bellinger. With Kyle Tucker off the board, Bellinger is the No. 1 free agent in MLB, and teams are expected to make calls for him from every direction. However, the Yankees and Mets may be making a serious mistake. If the two clubs in New York truly believe they are by themselves on the Bellinger market, then they might be in for a rude awakening when the two-time All-Star makes his announcement. As recently reported, Bellinger and his camp have revealed his decision’s timing. All of this means the Yankees and Mets are now entering a race against the clock—but it could all be in vain if a silent suitor emerges in MLB. “It’s possible at any moment [Bellinger’s] agent, Scott Boras, will land a too-good-to-say-no contract offer from a team nobody saw coming,” Brendan Kuty of The Athletic suggested. “[Just like] the New York Mets stole Bo Bichette from the Philadelphia Phillies, or how the Chicago Cubs took Alex Bregman from the Boston Red Sox.” Cody Bellinger at Dodger Stadium. Who could be in on Bellinger? The Yankees and Mets have one less competitor for Bellinger, as reports suggest the Toronto Blue Jays are not pursuing the star outfielder and first baseman. In today’s MLB, it can’t be ruled out that Toronto is using a gimmick to bamboozle the clubs in New York and land the star its fanbase has been clamoring for. On another note, the Philadelphia Phillies, who were all in on the market for Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker, could pivot toward Bellinger ahead of the 2026 MLB season. Moreover, the Phillies are exploring the trade market for Nick Castellanos. Moving on from the 33-year-old veteran could open the field to go after Bellinger. Moreover, if negotiations grow cold between Bellinger and the two New York franchises, more teams could emerge as frontrunners. The Yankees and Mets are still considered the favorites, but the race remains wide open. Until Bellinger puts pen to paper, no option can be taken off the table.

Nick Castellanos rumors: Phillies know one thing for certain about future of 2x All-Star
The Philadelphia Phillies are standing firm in their final stance regarding Nick Castellanos’ future with the MLB club in the City of Brotherly Love. Nick Castellanos has long been a staple of the Philadelphia Phillies, but that might be entering its final hours in MLB. With the organization pretty much convinced that Castellanos’ time in Pennsylvania has run its course, a new report states the front office isn’t wavering in its stance. The Phillies are exploring the trade market in search of partners to move Castellanos. However, progress has been slow, and not much has transpired. Moreover, in order to move Castellanos’ $20 million deal for the 2026 MLB season, Philadelphia would have to eat a considerable chunk of it. In more ways than one, keeping Castellanos for one last year might feel like the more reasonable option—but the Phillies are having none of it. In a conversation with reporter Devan Kaney, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski stated, “[We] still expect Nick Castellanos to land elsewhere this season.” Moreover, Dombrowski revealed how close the Phillies came to signing Bo Bichette, before he put pen to paper with the New York Mets. That disappointing outcome hasn’t changed how Philadelphia feels about Castellanos, though. Nick Castellanos against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Castellanos’ contract Castellanos signed a five-year, $100 million deal with the Phillies ahead of the 2022 MLB season, when he was coming off his first All-Star selection in 2021 with the Cincinnati Reds. Now, Castellanos is gearing up to play the final season of his five-year contract. Set to earn a $20 million salary in 2026, he knows the pressure is on ahead of a massive contract year. The right fielder who once committed to play college baseball at the University of Miami will turn 34 before the 2026 MLB Opening Day. As such, his next season will be crucial for teams to decide whether investing in him is sound business. Potential landing spots Several reports have hinted that Castellanos might be seeking a reunion, returning to a place he’s played before. That would put the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds in pole position to pursue him. A report from insider Bob Nightengale point at the San Diego Padres, who recently missed out on Nolan Arenado, and have been active in the trade market. Still, any team could emerge as a suitor—especially if Philadelphia is willing to cover most of the $20 million salary for the 2026 campaign. If the Phillies take on around $15–17 million, every contending team will knock on their door, as adding a power bat like Castellanos’ for such a modest price could prove decisive come October in MLB.

Lionel Messi’s Argentina set to face World Cup team in friendly match after 2026 Finalissima vs Spain
Lionel Messi's Argentina are gearing up to face Spain in the 2026 Finalissima, followed just days later by a friendly match against a fellow 2026 World Cup qualifier. The 2026 Finalissima, set for this March between Argentina and Spain, stands as one of the year’s most anticipated fixtures, marking the first-ever on-field meeting between Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal. Serving as a critical tune-up for the 2026 World Cup, Lionel Scaloni’s squad has now confirmed a second friendly against a fellow World Cup qualifier just days after the clash with Spain The historic showdown between Messi and Yamal will take place on Friday, March 27, at Lusail Stadium—the hallowed ground where Argentina secured the 2022 World Cup title. However, Argentina’s stay at Lusail will be extended; four days later, on Tuesday, March 31, they will face Qatar, another confirmed participant for the 2026 World Cup. The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) officially unveiled the ‘Qatar Football Festival 2026’ via social media, detailing a high-profile slate of international matches in the Middle East. Organizers confirmed six total matches for the festival, with Argentina appearing twice. The Finalissima will be the 15th meeting between Argentina and Spain, a rivalry currently deadlocked with six wins apiece and two draws. Meanwhile, the fixture against Qatar marks only the second meeting between the two nations; Argentina won their sole previous encounter 2-0 during the 2019 Copa America. 6 heated matchesMARCH 2026 🇪🇬 V 🇸🇦: 26 March🇶🇦 V 🇷🇸: 26 March🇪🇸 V 🇦🇷: 27 March🇪🇬 V 🇪🇸 : 30 March🇸🇦 V 🇷🇸: 30 March🇶🇦 V 🇦🇷: 31 MarchFebruary 1: Launch of travel packages in partnership with Qatar Airways and Visit Qatar.February 25: Release of match tickets for sale. pic.twitter.com/YRXwQqB8Sn— The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy (@RoadtoQatar_en) January 19, 2026 Beyond Argentina’s double-header, the festival features four additional marquee matchups: Saudi Arabia vs. Egypt and Qatar vs. Serbia on Thursday, March 26, followed by Egypt vs. Spain and Serbia vs. Saudi Arabia on Monday, March 30. Argentina gear up for 2026 World Cup defense Argentina’s primary objective in 2026 is clear: to defend the world title they secured in Qatar in 2022. To that end, Lionel Messi and company will utilize the Finalissima and a series of friendlies as the cornerstone of their tournament preparation. Following the November international window—which saw Lionel Scaloni’s squad face Angola in a celebratory match marking the 50th anniversary of the African nation’s independence—Argentina’s schedule for the crucial March window is now set. The team will travel to the Middle East for the ‘Qatar Football Festival,’ headlined by the showdown against Spain. Furthermore, the Albiceleste will have one final preparation window in June, immediately preceding the World Cup opener. While the AFA has yet to finalize the venues, reports from TyC Sports indicate that Argentina are set to face Mexico and Honduras on U.S. soil. These matches will serve as the final tune-up before the team settles into its base camp—likely in Kansas City—to begin the most important competition in world soccer.
