Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates have treated him to an extensive assortment of Christmas gifts worth a whopping $120,000 in an effort to replace some items stolen from his home.
Kelce’s $6 million mansion was raided by thieves in October, with the Super Bowl winner reportedly losing some precious belongings.
That included $100,000 in jewelry, $20,000 in cash, his first Super Bowl jersey and a watch that has since been found in Rhode Island. They reportedly spent less than 15 minutes at the property.
The FBI continues to investigate the case and Kelce, who was reportedly “upset and angry” about being robbed, responded by beefing up his home security amid an NFL warning that a South American crime gang could be behind several players who stole it be a target.
Despite this, Chiefs stars have tried to cheer Kelce up by replacing some of the stolen beloved items with an emotional Christmas gift for the tight end.
According to The SunKelce was handed a box after a team meeting and told to open it immediately.

Inside, Kelce found jerseys from NFL icons like Tom Brady, Ray Lewis and Rob Gronkowski. The collection is expected to have cost $120,000.
“He opened the box and felt like a kid at Christmas,” the source said.
“They go straight to his man cave, where he likes to hang out. Those pieces will be so special to him. Travis couldn’t stop thanking everyone.”
It’s said that “everyone contributed” to the idea and Travis’ older brother Jason even called on his contacts in Philadelphia to get his hands on a jersey from Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.
Kelce’s good friend Patrick Mahomes also donated his own Chiefs jersey for the gift.
Several NFL players have been robbed in recent weeks. Mahomes was targeted on Oct. 6 and Kelce’s property was burglarized a day later while the pair was playing for the Chiefs against the New Orleans Saints.
Kelce responded to the burglary by upgrading his home security system and adding reinforced locks, amid a series of drastic measures.
Earlier this month, Joe Burrow’s home in Cincinnati was burglarized while he was playing for the Bengals in Dallas, about 1,000 miles away.

The incident led to further investigation when it emerged that police had been called by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton, who was in the house even while Burrow was allegedly dating Olivia Holzmacher.
“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one, and there’s already a lot more out there than I would like and feel like sharing, so that’s all I have to say about that,” Burrow said.
Kelce, 35, has not publicly commented on the robbery, while Mahomes gave only a brief response at a Chiefs press conference in November, saying, “It’s frustrating, it’s disappointing.
‘I can’t go into too much detail because the investigation is still ongoing. It’s clearly something you don’t want to happen to anyone, but especially to yourself.’
The shocking incident hasn’t stopped girlfriend Taylor Swift from staying with Kelce throughout the holidays – one of the busiest times of the year for him and the Chiefs as they pursue a third straight Super Bowl victory.
“She’s heading to Kansas City and staying there for a while over the next few weeks to be with Travis and show him love and support,” the source said. The sun.
“She wants to witness another potential championship season for the Chiefs. Travis is the one who now has the busiest schedule of the two.
‘But she is happy that they are spending time together, eating good food, relaxing and baking. Christmas will be a special holiday for both of them.”

According to reports, Kelce will miss the Chiefs’ next game and enjoy some time off with Swift before his latest Super Bowl charge.
The Chiefs have just entered a much-needed mini-bye week after a hectic Christmas schedule that saw them play three games in the space of ten days.
The last of those performances — a 29-10 Christmas Day win over the Steelers in Pittsburgh — saw them earn the AFC’s top playoff seed, meaning they’ll get a first-round bye and the entire postseason will enjoy home advantage.
And with nothing left to play in the regular season, it appears Kelce will be rested for next weekend’s game with the Denver Broncos and will instead head to a romantic getaway with Swift in New York City.
Chiefs insider Pete Sweeney hinted as much while on television New day with SSJ podcast On Friday, he revealed that head coach Andy Reid is expected to leave out the majority of his key starters for that game.
“I think Andy was done with the (Steelers) game and gave the guys some time to do what they wanted to do. It could be a tight end going to New York with his girlfriend, or a quarterback hanging out with his kids. Who knows what everyone else is doing,” said Sweeney, who has represented the team for more than a decade.
“But I think it’s a nice reset for these guys. All these guys will practice next week, but I don’t feel one percent that every starter of any significance will play in this game.”

Swift, who has a $50 million apartment in New York’s Tribeca neighborhood, was able to enjoy Christmas this year after wrapping up her global Eras Tour on December 8, but she still decided not to break her away streak for Wednesday’s win on the Steelers.
The pop megastar, who has not attended a Chiefs road game this season, was nowhere to be seen as Kelce and Kansas City secured the top playoff spot in Pittsburgh.
Travis’ girlfriend was at Arrowhead for the win over the Houston Texans last Saturday, but nevertheless arrived at the stadium wearing a fluffy red jacket and black boots, along with a black fedora.
She returned to Kansas City amid speculation that she and Kelce are now engaged, after eagle-eyed Swifties claimed a ring was removed from a certain photo from her recent Eras Tour party.
