Travis Kelce becomes NFL’s highest-paid tight end with new Chiefs contract extension
NY Post
Now it’s Travis’ turn to make some news.
A week after megastar girlfriend Taylor Swift dropped her long-awaited “Tortured Poets Department” album and hours after brother Jason Kelce joined ESPN’s NFL broadcast team, Travis Kelce got his own moment in the spotlight.
The Chiefs star has agreed to a contract extension that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid tight end, the team announced Monday, with NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reporting its a two-year tack-on to his current deal for $34.25 million.
“Back at it again, baby, woo! Feels good to be in KC,” Kelce said in a video recorded at the Chiefs facility the team posted to X. “I remember coming here 12 years ago — it’s an honor and a pleasure. I can’t wait to get after these next two years. No better than right now. Getting fired up for this year – just got out on the field with the boys, doggone, we’re back at it baby. Chiefs forever!”
The three-time Super Bowl winner is set to make $17 million — all guaranteed — for 2024, besting Mark Andrews’ $16.9 million with the Ravens.
In 2025, he’ll make $17.1 million.
