Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, has signed a new two-year contract extension, securing his position as the highest-paid player at his position in the NFL. This announcement follows his pivotal contribution to the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory earlier in the year. The deal, worth $34 million (£27 million), extends his tenure with the Chiefs until 2027. Kelce, aged 34, has been with the team for 12 years and expressed his enthusiasm about continuing his journey with them. His quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, who himself secured a 10-year contract in 2020, showed his support for Kelce. This contract extension aligns with the recent recommitments from head coach Andy Reid and general manager Brett Veach, emphasizing the Chiefs’ intent to maintain a strong roster. In the 2023 season, Kelce led the team in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
