It looks like Travis Kelce might be switching out his football for a basketball in the near future as the NFL star had the perfect response to a comment Mark Cuban made about Taylor Swift - and let's just say, we're loving his confidence.

The 65-year-old appeared on a recent episode of ESPN’s show, First Take, where he made a joke about the 33-year-old Grammy-award-winning singer and how she should be dating a player from the basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks.

"Taylor, sorry if you’re listening Travis, break up with him," Cuban said on the episode on Thursday. "I got a bunch of good-looking single guys that play for the Dallas Mavericks. I gotchu."

Kelce saw the comment and immediately took to social media to respond.

"@mcuban Just sign me to a ten day [contract]!” Kelce stated in a tweet on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In the NBA, a ten-day contract is considered a temporary deal designed to help a team for a short period of time so it seems as though there will be one more extra player on the Mavericks' team this season.

Fans couldn't help but applaud the star for his witty response.

"We love you mr chaos," wrote one user, while another added: Welcome to the Mavs Travis!"

A third even branded the tweet as a "Legendary response."

And just to deepen the rumor, the official account for the Mavericks also responded to Kelce writing: "We do need a center," with an eyes-emoji next to it.

So will we be seeing the tight-end take to the basketball court? We'll just have to wait to see how this one plays out.

The news comes just shortly after the 33-year-old NFL star gave us the tea surrounding his brewing romance with Swift.

"I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her," he recalled on (September 27), on an episode of his 'New Heights' podcast alongside his brother Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles. "The friends and family. She looked amazing... and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans. We script it all, ladies and gentlemen.

"It was absolutely electric," he added.

Following their release of the episode on Wednesday, Jason, opened up about further details about his brother’s new relationship.

"I wish I could tell you," he told the hosts during an appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP. "I have gotten no inclination from Travis... I would say with this one, it definitely seems like he is going above and beyond to be a gentleman.

"I think that he can probably handle both of those gears when necessary," he concluded.

Let's hope he can because it seems as though he's in for one hell of a ride.
