Travis Kelce signs new NFL contract, becoming the highest-paid tight end in the league
Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ star pass-catcher, has signed a two-year contract extension that would make him the NFL’s highest-paid tight end.
For years, the 34-year-old tight end accepted a reduced wage and revealed why he was never paid all-star money, despite his great stats.
In 2023, his salary ranked 54th among players after he earned about $11.25 million.
Now, we’re learning about his two year extension.
NFL insider Ian Rapoport tweeted, “The #Chiefs and All-Pro and Pro Bowl TE Travis Kelce have agreed to terms on a new 2-year contract extension that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid tight end, sources say.” Mike Simon, his long-time agent, closed the sale.
Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs quarterback, responded to the news with the following tweet: “I told yall I’d never let him leave!! Congratulations, my guy! @tkelce.”
According to Tom Pelissero, an NFL insider, “#Chiefs star Travis Kelce’s contract extension tacks on two years and $34.25 million to the two years remaining on his old deal.”
This means that Travis is getting an additional $34.25 million added to his old deal, plus getting signed through the 2027 season.
