Over the past several seasons, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has emerged as the most consistent and dominant tight end in the entire league. And now, he’ll be paid that way.
According to a report from NFL insider Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Travis Kelce has just signed a two-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs that makes him the highest-paid tight end in the entire league.
“No more Champagne Problems: The #Chiefs and All-Pro and Pro Bowl TE Travis Kelce have agreed to terms on a new 2-year contract extension to make him the NFL’s highest-paid tight end, sources say. The deal was done by his long-time agent Mike Simon, now with @milkhoneysport,” Rapoport said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, this is some pretty massive news for Kelce, and the NFL world had a lot to say about it on social media.
There were some retirement rumors surrounding Kelce following the season, in part due to his relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift. Those rumors were heightened by Jason Kelce – his brother and podcast partner – announcing his retirement after the season.
But it doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere.
