Kansas City tight end signs lucrative two-year contract extension.
The Chiefs win, notably thanks to Travis Kelce. And it will last.
Kelce signed a new two-year contract, making him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. Contrary to the first information published by NFL Network, this would not be a contract extension, but a new agreement, which replaces the one that was in place.
ProFootballTalk.com announces compensation of $34.25 million for the next two years. 17 million guaranteed in 2024 and 17.25 million in 2025, which will become guaranteed in March 2025. The average above 17 million per season allows Kelce to surpass Darren Waller ($17.5M), TJ Hockenson ($16.5M $) and George Kittle ($15M), who were ahead of him in the standings.
The fact that two years are added no longer necessarily seems to be true.
However, he should stay quite far from his partner Taylor Swift, who has just joined the billionaires club.
Travis Kelce, a Chiefs for life?
At 34 years old, Travis Kelce is coming off a less productive year by his own standards with 93 receptions for 984 yards and 5 touchdowns in 15 games.
This is the first time since 2015 that he has not crossed the 1,000 yard mark, but his connection with Patrick Mahomes cannot be questioned. In the playoffs this year he caught 32 passes for 355 yards and 3 touchdowns, to win the Chief's third title in five years.
“I told you I wouldn't let him go,” Mahomes said on Twitter. “Congratulations dude!! »
Selected in the third round of the 2013 Draft by Kansas City, the seven-time All-Pro therefore seems to be heading towards a career with one and the same team. Then it will definitely be the Hall of Fame.
