Question

Kansas City Chiefs say they won't be re-signing Travis Kelce's contract.

Comments

This claim is not true and satirical. This website has right leaning affiliations and they seem to be targeting Kelce and even Taylor Swift as they are both democrat voters.

The claim that the Kansas City Chiefs won’t be re-signing Travis Kelce's contract is false. The source of this claim is The Dunning-Kruger Times, a satirical news site. On the “About Us” page on its official website, the company refers to itself as a “network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery,” and calls its content “junk news.” This showcases that The Dunning-Kruger Times is not known for its credibility and truthfulness since its main focus is to create satirical content for the public. Additionally, when using Google to search “KC Chiefs not re-signing Travis Kelce,” no articles have headlines or information that supports this claim. There have also been no official statements on this claim made by the NFL, or the Kansas City Chiefs themselves. When plugging in this claim to perplexity.ai, a fact-check conducted by Kaiyah Clarke for the site, “Lead Stories' ', is linked, debunking the claim that the KC Chiefs will not renew Kelce's contract. Both Fox Sports, StyleCaster, and Spotrac, Kelce is currently in a four-year contract with the KC Chiefs.

Answer 1

First of all, Kelce is under contract for multiple more years with significant guaranteed money that nearly ties him down with the Chiefs. Furthermore, under the About Us page on the website where this claim is posted is states that this is a satirical site that does not post truthful articles.
