The NFL is so back, and that's not just because the preseason is over and real games are coming up in a hurry. No, it's because Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift storylines are being discussed once again.

The latest came Monday during NFL Live on ESPN when Adam Schefter seemed to hint that Kelce has already bought an engagement ring for his pop star girlfriend.

Laura Rutledge got things going by talking about how Kelce bought a racehorse named Swift Delivery.

“Travis Kelce made a big purchase recently—no, not an engagement ring—but it was Swift adjacent," Rutledge said.

Then a few moment later, Schefter chimed in with this:

“I have a question. Laura, how do you know that Travis Kelce didn’t buy an engagement ring?” Schefter said with an inquisitive look on his face.

Rutledge asked Schefter if he was ready to break some news, which led to the NFL Insider just making a face at the camera for a few seconds.

“The awkward silence right there speaks volumes,” Booger McFarland said. “Do you know something, Schefty? America wants to know.”

Here's how that all played out:

See? Football is so back.

Here's guessing, however, that if Kelce and Swift eventually do get engaged, they'll be the ones breaking the news, not Schefter.
