Patrick Mahomes estuvo de fiesta el viernes por la noche en Las Vegas mientras Travis Kelce volaba de regreso a Sin City tras su cita con su novia Taylor Swift.

El jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs apareció en Zouk Night Club en Resorts World Las Vegas para la despedida de soltero de su mejor amigo, y se le vio muy fresco toda la noche, luciendo sus lentes de sol negras.

Echa un vistazo a este video obtenido por TMZ, Mahomes es bailando al ritmo de la música y pasando el rato con sus amigos, incluyendo el novio Brennan McDaniel, que es amigo de la infancia de Patrick y ex compañero en Texas Tech.

En un momento dado, Mahomes también se sumó al espectáculo, junto a un grupo de mujeres que estaba bailando con poca ropa y agitando unas bengalas.

Mahomes también fue un imán para un montón de otras encantadoras damas que se acercaron a hablar con él. Por supuesto, Patrick solo tiene ojos para una mujer, su esposa Brittany, pero las chicas van a jugar sus tiros, suponemos.

El Sr. Kelce también estuvo ausente de las festividades, pero como bien saben, es porque Travis está volando de regreso a Las Vegas para estar con sus compañeros de equipo. Los mantendremos informados de cuando aterrice y empiece a festejar con sus chicos.

Como informamos, Travis acaba de pasar dos días con Taylor en Sydney, Australia. Estuvo en su concierto el viernes por la noche y también de paseo en el zoológico.

No hace falta decir que el jugador ofensivo de los Chiefs y la superestrella del pop parecen perdidamente enamorados.

La superestrella de la WWE Grayson Waller dice que el mayor evento de Australia este fin de semana no es el concierto de Taylor Swift en Sydney, sino algo que sucede a 2.400 millas de distancia, ¡¡¡Elimination Chamber!!!

TMZ Sports habló con el nativo de Sydney antes del gran evento de lucha libre y aunque está feliz de ver a Tay Tay y Travis Kelce recorriendo sus antiguos terrenos mientras visitan la ciudad, dice que la verdadera atracción está en Perth.

El ícono australiano se burla del campeón del Super Bowl, comparándolo con un wombat (teniendo en cuenta que Traylor fue al zoológico esta semana) y acusando a Kelce de esquivarlo por estar tan lejos.

"No me sorprende que Travis haya volado hasta Sydney para estar tan lejos de mí en Australia", dijo Waller. "Estoy seguro de que darán un buen espectáculo, pero no es nada comparado con lo que yo hago".

Waller incluso extiende una invitación a los hermanos Kelce para que vayan a WrestleMania en Filadelfia en abril, diciendo que tiene todo el sentido, pues Jason es un Eagle y Taylor proviene de Pennsylvania.

Aunque dice que sería muy divertido, Waller cree que los Kelces no tendrían ninguna oportunidad en el ring, a pesar de que ambos son atletas de clase mundial.

WWE superstar Grayson Waller says the biggest must-see event in Australia this weekend ain't the Taylor Swift concert in Sydney ... it's something going down 2,400 miles away -- the Elimination Chamber!!

TMZ Sports spoke with the Sydney native ahead of the big wrestling event ... and while he's happy to see Tay Tay and Travis Kelce made their way through his old stomping grounds with the singer's tour in town, he says the REAL draw is over in Perth.

The Aussie Icon takes a few jabs at the Super Bowl champ -- playfully comparing him to a wombat (fitting, considering Traylor went to the zoo this week) and accusing Kelce of ducking him by being so far away.

"I'm not surprised that Travis flew all the way to Sydney to be as far away from me in Australia," Waller said. "I'm sure they'll put on a good show, but it's nothing compared to what I do."

Waller even extends an invite to the Kelce bros to hit up WrestleMania in Philly in April ... saying it all makes sense with Jason being an Eagle and Taylor hailing from Pennsylvania.

While he says it would be a lot of fun, Waller says the Kelces wouldn't stand a chance him in the ring ... despite Travis and Jason being world-class athletes.

Travis Kelce's trip to Sydney has been cut short -- he's leaving Taylor Swift behind so he can beeline it back to Vegas ... where he, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are gonna party!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Travis is currently aboard a private flight that's going from Sydney to Vegas -- and it's gonna be a long journey that sees him landing in Sin City Saturday morning. Quick turnaround, no doubt ... he just landed in Sydney Wednesday (US time).

It's already Saturday there now ... so he'll be going back in time in a bit. In any case, when he arrives in Vegas -- we're told TK is set to reunite with his teammates, including his QB and other players ... which our sources say had been the plan all along dating back to the SB.

Our sources say this 2nd Vegas get-together with the team isn't for any particular reason or occasion -- we're told this is just another celebration to ring in the big Super Bowl win.

And if you're wondering ... didn't they already do that the night they actually won??? The answer to that is yes -- but they're going back again and doing a little déjà vu Vegas-style.

This will actually be the third Vegas trip for Travis in two weeks -- he was obviously there for the game itself and the festivities after ... but remember, he was also just in Vegas earlier this week on a random Monday, where he played a little golf and chowed down with friends.

In fact, a few eyewitnesses who saw Trav in Vegas that day might've actually blown his and the Chiefs' cover here -- a DJ who plays at Toca Madera said he'd been approached about doing a private gig for the guys on Friday evening, but if that's still going down as mentioned ... Trav obviously ain't gonna be there for that. He'll be 30,000 feet in the air.

Of course, with Travis flying out of Sydney ... that also means he and Taylor are parting for now -- which seems to be their new reality as she gets back into the swing of touring.

Fact is ... she'll be busy traveling the world for the foreseeable future, and while ya gotta imagine he'll tag along for some of those stops -- it's not reasonable to expect him to be there for all of it ... and that's manifesting here in this short Sydney visit from him.

The real question will be ... how long can they realistically sustain this sort of schedule/situation? So far, Taylor and Travis still look head over heels -- so on its face, they seem to be able to make it work for the time being. We'll see as the months go on.

Anyway, Travis is up in the air and on his way back to the States. Usually, people are leaving Las Vegas ... but in this case, it's the opposite -- here, he's Vegas-bound.

Travis Kelce tiene que estar feliz de que Taylor Swift y Katy Perry ya no estén peleadas porque hace algún tiempo tuvo que hacer una difícil elección entre ellas y como que le dio el visto bueno a Katy.

Ha estado circulando una vieja entrevista de Travis en 2016, que hizo con AfterBuzz TV, a raíz de que Katy se apareció en el concierto de Taylor en Australia el viernes y en el clip, Travis está jugando el clásico juego "FMK" (Fuck, Marry, Kill), pero la versión PG (Kiss, Marry, Kill).

Se le dieron 3 opciones a Travis: Taylor, Katy y Ariana Grande y después de que a regañadientes optara por "matar" a Ariana, diciendo que pensaba que era genial, se quedó con Taylor y Katy y eligió a Katy para el matrimonio y a Taylor para besar.

Es súper tonto y todo, pero poco sabía en ese entonces de que iba a terminar con una de estas señoras, aunque obviamente también se cruzó con Katy, en compañía de Taylor.

Es bastante divertido ver al Travis del pasado, obviamente, la referencia a Taylor es el punto alto aquí, pero su peinado también es bastante divertido de apreciar. Hoy en día, se peina de forma normal.

En cualquier caso, parecía bastante entusiasmado con casarse con Katy en ese entonces, lo cual es interesante porque en 2016 las cantantes aún se tenían bronca.

Por supuesto, las dos estrellas del pop han remendado su relación desde entonces, a tal punto de que Katy apareció cantando "Bad Blood" el viernes en el primer show de Taylor en Sídney: la última señal de que ahora están bien.

Katy estuvo cantando desde la carpa VIP, donde se unió a Rita Ora y Travis. Así que sí, Travis estuvo pasando el rato con la mujer que alguna vez prefirió sobre Taylor.

No está claro si Travis vio este divertido clip con Katy el viernes durante el concierto, pero francamente, lo dudamos y es totalmente posible que ni siquiera lo recuerde.

Fue hace un montón de tiempo y ahora claramente está muy feliz con Taylor.

De todos modos, Travis y Taylor siguen yendo en serio en la medida que ella retoma su gira "Eras" y él celebra otro campeonato del Super Bowl con los Kansas City Chiefs. Si Katy está en la mezcla o no, él solo tiene ojos para Tay Tay por estos días.

Travis Kelce has to be happy Taylor Swift and Katy Perry are no longer beefing ... 'cause he once had to make a tough choice between them, and he kinda gave the nod to Katy.

An old interview with Travis from 2016 that he did with AfterBuzz TV is being resurfaced and recirculated in the wake of Katy crashing Taylor's concert down in Australia Friday ... and in the clip, Travis is playing the classic game "FMK," but the PG-version ... Kiss, Marry, Kill.

Travis is given 3 options ... Taylor, Katy and Ariana Grande ... and after he reluctantly chooses to "kill" Ariana -- noting he actually thinks she's great -- he was left with Taylor and Katy as the final 2 ... and he picks Katy for marriage and Taylor for kissing.

It's super silly and all in good fun ... but little did he know back then, he'd end up with one of these ladies -- although, he obviously crossed paths with Katy as well in the company of TS.

It's pretty funny to see Travis in this throwback -- obviously, the Taylor reference is the stand-out here -- but his flowing hairdo is also pretty wild to see. These days, he rocks a regular fade.

In any case, he seemed pretty stoked on marrying Katy at the time ... which is interesting -- because in 2016, she and Katy were still feuding and had bad blood back then.

Of course, the two pop stars have since patched up their relationship ... to the point where Katy was singing "Bad Blood" Friday at Taylor's first Sydney show -- the ultimate sign they're all good now.

Katy was singing along from the VIP tent ... where she was joined by Rita Ora and Travis. So yes, Travis was standing next to and hanging out with the woman he was once smitten with over Taylor.

Unclear if Travis brought this funny clip up with Katy Friday during the concert ... but frankly, we doubt it ... and it's entirely possible he doesn't even remember this.

It was a lifetime ago ... and he's clearly very happy with Taylor now.

Anyway, Travis and Taylor are still going strong as her "Eras" tour picks back up and he celebrates another Super Bowl championship with the Kansas City Chiefs. Whether Katy's in the mix there with them or not ... he's only got eyes for Tay Tay these days.

Ex-NFL player Shareece Wright is one of 12 former high school football players accusing their trainer of sexual assault ... claiming he was groomed into having an inappropriate relationship when he was a minor.

Wright opened up on the allegations in an interview with ESPN ... stating Colton High School trainer Tiffany Strauss-Gordon, the daughter of then-head coach Harold Strauss, performed numerous sexual acts on him at the team facility when he was a member of the football team.

The former cornerback said he first met Strauss-Gordon in 2002 -- when he was 15 and she was 21 -- and as time went on, she became increasingly flirty.

Over the next three years, Wright told the outlet Strauss-Gordon would touch him inappropriately and perform oral sex on him while receiving treatment ... and eventually, they had sex during team dinners at his coach's home.

Wright claimed the interactions were no secret among the team ... with his teammates referring to receiving oral sex from Strauss-Gordon as the "Tiffany treatment."

The outlet stated the school was made aware of the allegations back in 2011, which led to a temporary leave and internal investigation ... but she was allowed to return to her job after meeting with officials.

Strauss-Gordon has denied the allegations ... but was placed on administrative leave after the players filed lawsuits against her and the school district in 2022.

She has not faced charges from the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office due to insufficient evidence.

Travis Kelce estuvo en la primera fila para apoyar a su novia Taylor Swift, mientras ella se tomaba el escenario de nuevo, y Taylor se lo agradeció cariñosamente después del show.

El jugador de los Kansas City Chiefs fue uno de los miles de asistentes al Accor Stadium de Sydney el viernes, donde T-Swift dio inicio a una nueva serie de conciertos de cara al fin de semana. Al igual que otros shows donde él ha estado presente, los fans se volvieron locos.

Hay un montón de videos circulando en X que muestran a Travis Kelce de camino a su lugar en el estadio, mientras los Swifties pierden la cabeza gritando como locos.

Travis hizo eco de toda la atención, aplaudiendo y saludando a las jóvenes a su paso, flanqueado por la seguridad a su lado, por supuesto. También lo acompañaba un amigo, Ross Travis, ex jugador de los Chiefs, que está acompañando a Travis en este viaje a Australia. El padre de Taylor, Scott, también estaba en la tienda VIP donde fue Trav.

Por cierto, había otros famosos en el espectáculo, como Katy Perry y Rita Ora. Travis se tomó una foto con esta última y, ¡llevaba puesta su pulsera de la amistad! Después del concierto, los fans pudieron ver cómo Taylor le daba un beso a su hombre.

Mientras Travis y compañía miraban, Taylor hizo lo suyo sobre el escenario y encendió el estadio como lo hace normalmente. Los mejores momentos quedaron registrados en fotos.

Cuando se trata de Travis, el tipo está obviamente comprometido con la relación. Ya había viajado antes para ver actuar a Taylor y ahora lo hizo de nuevo en Australia. Tampoco ha perdido el tiempo desde que llegó, ambos pasearon por el zoológico apenas llegó.

No es poca cosa. Como hemos informado, Travis hizo un largo viaje para ver a la súper estrella del pop. Comenzó la noche del martes cuando se subió a un avión privado en Los Ángeles después de cenar en Nobu Malibu.

Primero voló a Hawái y luego a Sydney, donde fue fotografiado bajando del avión y subiendo a un SUV. Un largo viaje, sin duda, y sin embargo, él se las arregló para ir directo al zoológico de Sydney de paseo con su chica.

Esta es la segunda vez que Trav viaja para ver a Taylor, pero no se preocupen, ella ha hecho lo mismo por él. Recuerden, hace poco voló desde Tokio hasta Las Vegas para estar en el Super Bowl y estuvo allí animándolo, mientras los Chiefs ganaban el campeonato.

Algunos se preguntaban si iban a ser capaces de mantener el ritmo después de la temporada de fútbol, y hasta ahora, parece que sí. No te embarcas hasta Australia si no estás comprometido con la relación.

Sabemos que Travis estará allí durante el fin de semana, pero la pregunta es, ¿será su roadie durante el resto de la gira? Ella tiene espectáculos en Singapur en los próximos días, en el marco de su gira "Eras".

Travis Kelce was front and center for his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, as she took the stage down under anew ... and she showed her appreciation for him afterward with a little sugar.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was among thousands of people in attendance Friday at Accor Stadium in Sydney -- where T-Swift kicked off a fresh round of performances heading into the weekend. Just like at other shows of hers he's been to ... the fans went wild.

Lots of videos are floating around on X that show TK making his way to his spot in the stadium -- and as he passed a bunch of Swifties ... they were losing their s*** screaming.

Travis soaked up all the attention ... clapping and waving at all the young'ns as he passed them -- with security flanking him on all sides, of course. He had a buddy with him too -- Ross Travis -- who's a former Chiefs player ... and who's randomly accompanying Travis on this Aussie trip. Taylor's dad, Scott, was also in the mix as Trav went to his VIP tent.

BTW ... there were other famous people at this show -- namely, Katy Perry and Rita Ora ... and Travis snapped a photo with the latter. Indeed, he's got his friendship bracelet on! After the concert, he was there to greet Taylor -- and lingering fans saw her plant one on him.

As Travis and co. looked on ... Taylor was onstage doing her thing, and put on a helluva show like she normally does. Lots of highlights from that -- all captured in photos, no less.

When it comes to Travis -- the dude is obviously committed to the relationship -- he's already traveled internationally for Taylor before this ... and he did it again here in Australia. He hasn't missed a beat either with Taylor since arriving -- going from plane to zoo date ASAP.

It's no small feat. As we reported ... Travis' long trip to see Taylor again began Tuesday night when he jumped on a private plane from L.A. after having dinner at Nobu Malibu.

He first jetted off to Hawaii for a short stay and then flew to Sydney, where he was pictured walking off the aircraft and climbing inside an SUV. A long trip, no doubt -- and yet ... he powered through and went right to the Sydney Zoo with his gal, playing a good sport.

This marks the 2nd time Trav has traveled around the world for Taylor ... but don't worry, she's done the same for him. Remember, she flew from Tokyo to catch the Super Bowl in Vegas -- and was there on the sidelines cheering for him as he and the Chiefs won it all.

Some wondered if they'd be able to keep the momentum going post-football season -- and so far, it appears they have ... you don't just jet off to Australia if you're half in on a relationship.

We know Trav will be there through the weekend ... but the question is, will he be her roadie through the rest of the tour? She's got shows in Singapore next as the "Eras" tour rolls on.

Matt Araiza -- the former Bills punter who was cut by Buffalo in the 2022 preseason after a woman alleged he sexually assaulted her -- is now signing with the Chiefs ... roughly two months after his accuser dropped her lawsuit against him.

The 23-year-old football player's agents announced the move on social media Thursday afternoon ... praising the kicker for how he's handled everything since the allegations were first brought against him nearly two years ago.

"We are grateful to Brett Veach, coach [Andy] Reid and the @Chiefs organization for giving Matt this opportunity," JL Sports officials wrote on X. "Matt has been to hell and back in the last 18 months. He has handled himself with grace and humility that is truly inspiring."

They added, "Matt can now move forward knowing that this ordeal is behind him. He is thrilled to move forward as a part of the #ChiefsKingdom."

As we previously reported, Araiza's accuser claimed in a suit filed back in August '22 that when she was 17 years old, Araiza and two of his college football teammates raped her while she was attending a 2021 Halloween party at the punter's San Diego-area home.

Araiza was adamant at the time the claims were false ... and in December 2022, some four months after she filed the suit, prosecutors announced they would not be pressing charges against the NFLer.

"There is no path to a potential criminal conviction," they said in revealing their decision.

A year later, in December 2023, Araiza's attorneys announced the woman had dropped her suit after the parties reached an agreement.

"Matt is not paying the plaintiff any money," Araiza's lawyers said in a statement, "and he is reserving his right to pursue the plaintiff’s attorney, Dan Gilleon, and his law office for the harm that they have caused him."

Randy Moss didn't learn of his trade to the Patriots on a football field, weight room or at an NFL facility ... no, he says it all actually went down at a nightclub!!

The Hall of Famer made the revelation on the newest episode of "The Dynasty: New England Patriots" -- explaining that he was outside of a hot spot getting ready to party when Bill Belichick hit his line about acquiring him from Oakland.

Moss said initially, he thought it was a prankster, so he hung up.

"I was like, 'Well, maybe he doesn't want to come to New England,'" Belichick said of the 2007 call. "So, then I called him again."

Moss said he again thought it was someone yanking his chain ... but then The Hoodie got serious.

"He cut straight to the chase," Moss said of Belichick. "He said, 'Look, man, if you're not up here by 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, no trade.'"

Moss then went inside and celebrated his face off ... with none other than a grip of beer!!!

"I held one of my Coronas," he said. "And said, 'I'm going to be a Patriot!'"

Of course, Moss went on to make history in Foxborough ... in the three seasons after Belichick traded for a 4th-round pick for him, he logged 3,904 receiving yards and a staggering 50 TDs -- including a record 23 in 2007. He also helped lead the Pats to an undefeated regular season that year -- although they ultimately lost the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.

Johnny Manziel says he withered from 210 pounds all the way down to 170 just months after his NFL career ended ... explaining his body morphed due to "a strict diet of blow."

The former Heisman Trophy winner opened up about his struggles following his Cleveland playing days during a recent, two-hour interview with Shannon Sharpe.

In the chat on the "Club Shay Shay" podcast ... Manziel admitted he was at nearly rock bottom once he had failed the Browns in 2015 at 23 years old -- so he turned to the Las Vegas party scene to pick him up.

Apparently, his trip to Sin City included a lot of cocaine ... something he says changed his figure into an unrecognizable one.

"At that point in time, man," Manziel said, "I would look in a mirror and I didn't see myself any different than when I was in Cleveland. Until I stepped on a scale at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, I didn't realize I had lost 40 pounds at all."

"I remember these pictures came out," he continued. "I was like, 'Damn. What am I doing? Ah, whatever, we'll figure that out later. Let's go again.'"

Manziel said in addition to coke, he was also using OxyContin and Percocets.

Johnny Football went on to lament other parts of his life in his talk with Sharpe -- including his strained relationship with LeBron James.

After Cleveland had drafted the Texas A&M QB, LeBron signed him to his agency ... and throughout his time with the Browns, Manziel said the NBA superstar tried to take him under his wing. But, while battling poor play and subsequent depression, he said he pushed the hooper away.

"LeBron would text me every week to come over to the house and watch a game or play poker with the boys and just tried to be there," Manziel said. "And I was so depressed for the first time in my life that even my biggest role model and inspiration in my life couldn't get me out of bed to come and hang out with him."

Manziel added that he still feels to this day he let the future basketball Hall of Famer down.

Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce están reunidos en Australia y su primera parada en la ciudad como pareja fue volver al zoológico, tal como hizo Taylor ayer ... Hablando de déjà vu.

Los tortolitos fueron vistos de la mano el jueves paseando por el zoo de Sydney, disfrutando de las vistas y echando un vistazo a todos los animales. Tay Tay parecía llevar la iniciativa, lo cual tiene sentido, ya que estuvo literalmente hace 24 horas allí.

La atracción debe haberle causado una buena impresión, pues claramente pensó que valdría la pena llevar a Travis Kelce para una segunda ronda. De hecho, hizo de guía turística, como se ve en estas fotos aéreas obtenidas por Channel 9 News de Australia.

Trayvis incluso le dio de comer a un canguro.

Ahora, salieron como lo hacen normalmente mientras pasean. Es decir, súper enamorados y abrazados de la cintura. No solo iban cogidos de la mano, sino que se abrazaron varias veces también. Así que, sí, todavía van muy en serio.

Como informamos, Travis estaba en camino a Sydney el miércoles después de saltar en un jet privado la noche del martes en Los Ángeles y hacer una parada en Hawái.

Ahora, en términos de privacidad, no pareciera que Taylor y Travis tuvieran el lugar para ellos. Había otros turistas caminando por el zoológico, aunque parece que tenían su propia burbuja, pues no fueron bombardeados por los fans o los curiosos. ¡Gracias, seguridad!

Todavía tienen unos días juntos durante el fin de semana, pero Taylor estará ocupada, ya que tiene 4 espectáculos seguidos. Es seguro decir que Trav estará presente.

Se preguntarán qué más planean hacer, Sydney es una ciudad increíble y hay mucho que ver y hacer. Estaremos atentos a algunas fotos en el puente, ya que todos van para allá.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reunited down under -- and their first order of business as a couple was to go back to the zoo she was just at the day prior ... talk about déjà vu.

The lovebirds were seen hand in hand Thursday walking through the Sydney Zoo -- taking in the sights and peeping all the animal exhibitions. Tay Tay seemed to take the lead in showing him around ... which makes sense since she was literally there 24 hours before his arrival.

The attraction must've left a good impression on her, 'cause she clearly thought it'd be worth taking TK for round 2. Indeed ... she was playing the tour guide, as seen in these sky pics obtained by Australia's Channel 9 News. Heck, Traylor even fed a kangaroo at one point!

Now, they came off like they usually do as they moseyed around ... namely, super in love and tied at the hip. Not only were they holding hands, but they were locked in a hug a few different times as well. So, yeah ... they're still going strong and very into each other.

As we reported ... Travis was en route to Sydney Wednesday after hopping on a private jet Tuesday night from L.A. and making a pit stop in Hawaii.

Now, in terms of privacy ... it doesn't appear Taylor and Travis had the place shut down for themselves -- there were other zoo sightseers walking around, but they did seem to have their own little bubble without being bombarded by fans and gawkers. Thank you, security!

They got a few days together through the weekend -- however, Taylor will be busy ... as she's got 4 shows to do. Safe to say, Trav will be in attendance.

Ya gotta wonder what else they'll get into ... Sydney's a cool town, and there's lots to see/do. We'll be on the lookout for some bridge shots -- everybody heads there down under.

Have fun, you two!

12:18 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports ... Michael and his camp have actually not heard from Shaquem's agent to discuss the selling of rights for his movie and no talks have been had at all.

Shaquem Griffin says interest in a biopic about his life has recently exploded ... so much so, he tells TMZ Sports Michael B. Jordan has shown interest in acquiring it!!

The former NFL star -- who inspiringly made it to the league despite having his left hand amputated when he was just 4 years old -- has been working on a movie about his life journey for over two years.

He told us out at Super Bowl week in Las Vegas that, initially, he wanted to get the flick out ASAP. But, he said as more and more people have become aware of the project, he's seen plenty eager to get their hands on it ... including Adonis Creed himself.

He explained ... his agent has been in talks with Jordan's Outlier Society production company -- and he's confident even more are going to come forward as the script gets closer and closer to being done.

"Something special is finna happen," Griffin said.

Unclear if MBJ would have his eyes on the starring role ... but if he did, Griffin would clearly endorse it, even if they would then need to add his limb difference via CGI.

Griffin has now been out of the NFL since the 2021 season ... but he's stayed busy in retirement. In addition to working on his movie, his twin brother told us back in 2022 he's become a damn good motivational speaker as well.

6:30 PM PT -- The first sign of Travis Kelce in Australia has surfaced, and the dude looks ... well, beat.

Here's a shot of the tight end arriving in Sydney Wednesday (or Thursday on his time), and yes ... the dude was pretty straight-faced and serious as he got off his private jet. Ya gotta imagine he's stoked to be there for Taylor Swift ... but yeah, that was a long ass flight. Woof ...

2:58 PM PT -- Travis Kelce has officially touched down in Australia, hopping off his private jet just minutes ago.

Travis Kelce is on his way to see his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in Australia -- in fact, he's currently en route ... and he'll be landing there bright and early, TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Travis is, in fact, aboard a private jet at the moment that's on its way to Sydney right now ... and it looks like he's taking a similar flight path that she did when she left Vegas after the Super Bowl to get back to work in Melbourne.

We know Travis went from Los Angeles to Hawaii overnight -- where he landed for a pit stop -- and then continued on his journey very early this AM ... and is up in the air as we speak.

Our sources tell us Travis grabbed dinner in L.A. Tuesday evening before jumping on a plane around 9 PM and jetting on over to the islands. We're told he chowed down at Nobu Malibu -- and seems to have laid relatively low, 'cause there aren't many eyewitness sightings.

Of course, he'll now be joining Tay Tay down under ahead of a string of shows she's got scheduled through the weekend ... this after missing her Melbourne slate. Here, he's making up for it by catching the latter half of her Aussie shows ... 4 of 'em running through Monday.

Unclear if Travis is gonna stick around and hit up Singapore with Taylor afterward -- where she's scheduled to perform next -- but for now ... she'll have TK by her side in Sydney.

Travis has been traveling quite a bit over the past 48 hours -- as we reported, he was in Vegas (again) Monday for a little bro time and some golf ... but beelined outta there quick.

There's been a lot of speculation on when (or if) he'd join Taylor at some point ... and now, we know he will. The reason for the doubt had to do with the Kansas City shooting -- which threw Travis and his whole team for a loop, and seemingly set his plans back a bit.

He was just in Kansas City this past weekend ... but since then, he's been bouncing around.

Travis' dad, Ed, did an interview earlier this week where he said his boy sounded keen on coming down there and enjoying the Aussie landscape -- as it turns out, he was right.

Get ready, Taylor ... here comes, Travis!!!

We'll be talking all things Taylor on the new "TMZ Swift-Tea Podcast" -- available on all podcast platforms.
