Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has received a raunchy job offer amid his early struggles this season.
Kelce had a pretty enjoyable summer after helping the Chiefs win a second-straight Super Bowl, which marked the third of his career. But he has failed to get off the ground running in 2024, and it wasn’t until Week 4 that he showed glimpses of his old self.
The star tight end still has plenty going on off the field, having made his acting debut in Ryan Murphy’s ‘Grotesquerie’ series on FX. He is also expected to have a role in the ‘Happy Gilmore’ sequel, which has been confirmed for production by Netflix.
Kelce plays the character Ed Laclan, A.K.A. Eddie, in the aforementioned series. Eddie’s stripper background was revealed in the fourth episode, which prompted a male dance show operating out of Vegas called Thunder Down Under to offer him an opportunity to relive his character’s past.
“I think the audience would go wild for a little NFL meets thunder magic!” co-owner Adam Steck told TMZ.
One Offer Isn’t Enough For Travis Kelce
Kelce has also received an offer from another Vegas-based adult club, Kings of Hustler.

“Travis Kelce can rock his banana hammock on our stage.” Kings of Hustler general manager Brittany Rose said. “I’m sure that all the Vegas Swifties will want to catch a glimpse of what Taylor is working with behind the scenes. You know he’s given her a private show.”
Of course, we are unlikely to see such a thing happen. For one, Kelce is not leaving the NFL to become a stripper. Two, it would definitely cost him his relationship with Taylor Swift.
Still, everyone wants a piece of Travis Kelce right now. Just wait until he starts playing like the superstar TE we’ve come to know over the years.
REPORT: Kansas City Chiefs Sign New Tight End As Some Call For Travis Kelce To Be Benched

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed a new tight end to provide competition for Travis Kelce amid the Pro Bowler’s struggles to start the 2024 NFL season.
While the Super Bowl champs have gotten off to a strong start and are going into Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints with a 4-0 record, Kelce hasn’t quite given them what they’re used to.
The star TE, who turned 35 today, was a shadow of himself over the first three games and cut an unhappy figure, which led to calls for him to be benched. Of course, Andy Reid persisted with him, and he showed glimpses of his old self against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4, registering seven catches for 89 yards.
Andy Reid Keen On Additional Depth At TE Amid Uncertainty Over Travis Kelce
It appears that Reid wants some more depth at TE given the worries over his star man. While they have Noah Gray, who has performed well this term, the Chiefs have also signed Jody Fortson to their active roster, announcing as much on Friday.

Fortson returns to the Chiefs after spending the offseason with the Miami Dolphins. He was in KC from 2019-2023 but hasn’t played a regular-season game since 2022.
The 28-year-old joined the Dolphins in March; they released him in August.
Fortson has registered 155 yards and four touchdowns off 14 receptions in 19 career games. As to whether he makes an impact for the Chiefs this season remains to be seen.
