Travis Kelce walked off the field at Arrowhead Stadium possibly for the final time as the Kansas City Chiefs fell to the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.

Chris Jones had other ideas.

The star defensive lineman expressed his hope that Kelce would stay for one more season.

"I hope not man, dang," Jones told reporters. "We just have been through so much together and Travis has been a pivotal point in this offense for so long, and he’s been like a brother, man. To watch Trav go, I hope this isn’t his last year, I hope he gives it one more year. Just one more."

Jones appeared to wait for Kelce to walk to the locker room together.

He was asked why that moment was important to him.
