Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs have reportedly agreed to a new two-year extension that will make him the highest-paid tight end in football.
The exact numbers haven’t been released, but Kelce made $14 million last year after signing a four-year, $57 million contract before the 2023 season. Kelce’s friend and Super Bowl LVIII rival George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers currently has the largest contract of any tight end at $75 million. However, New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has the highest average annual salary at $17 million, while Minnesota’s TJ Hockenson has the most guaranteed money in his deal at $40 million.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport first reported the news, which has yet to be confirmed by the team.
Kelce’s agent Mike Simon did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for confirmation.
One person who confirmed the news was Kelce’s teammate Patrick Mahomes, who wrote on Congratulations my guy! @tkelce.’
Travis Kelce and the Chiefs have agreed to a new two-year extension
Kelce has already earned $89 million in NFL salary after 12 seasons with the Chiefs.
The deal is just the latest in a lucrative offseason for Kelce, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and three-time Super Bowl champion.
The Kanas City Chiefs star and three-time Super Bowl champion is already a pitchman for Pfizer Amazon, Nike and L’Homme Helzberg Diamonds and is reportedly getting offers from 50 brands, an insider told the American Sun in February.
Kelce’s potential suitors include Calvin Klein, which is reportedly offering a three-year contract for both domestic and international campaigns, and Toyota, which reportedly has a $1.5 million deal on the table.
Toyota’s deal includes a $1.2 million signing bonus, the Sun reports.
Other reported courtships include Samsonite ($800,000) and Kiehl’s, which itself has made a multi-million offer.
Kelce has been partying on both sides of the Pacific since winning his third Super Bowl in February. In addition to seeing the Australian leg of his girlfriend’s tour, Kelce also returned to Las Vegas, where he and Mahomes helped raise money for the quarterback’s children’s charity.
