Singer Machine Gun Kelly called into the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast on Wednesday’s episode to ask Travis Kelce a very important question.

As a Cleveland native, Kelly couldn’t help but inquire if the Chiefs tight end would consider switching teams to join the Browns. The Kelces are also from the Cleveland area.

“I’m sure you get asked this question behind closed doors a lot, but I would be remiss if due to the nature of our friendship, and just as a Clevelander, if I did not insert this question personally,” Kelly said.

“I will give you $500,000 cash upon arrival just for shopping or whatever you want as well as matching that same amount as a donation to both of our high schools, both Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights, as well as every day breakfast and coffee delivery from my restaurant, if you would just come home and put on these colors right here.” 

The Kelce brothers bursted into laughter after Kelly showed his Browns gear in the call. 

“You know that was the original dream, dawg,” Kelce said. “You know that was the dream!”

However, Kelce quickly shot down the idea. The tight end admitted that the “situation is pretty good in Kansas City.” The Chiefs, who are the reigning Super Bowl champions, hold a 8–3 record and sit in the second AFC playoff spot. The 7–4 Browns, on the other hand, sit in the third AFC North spot and are currently the No. 6 playoff seed.
