The Kansas City Chiefs and Travis Kelce have agreed to a two-year contract extension that will make Kelce the highest-paid tight end, a league source confirmed Monday. The NFL Network first reported the news.
Kelce helped the Chiefs win their second straight Super Bowl last season while leading the team with 93 receptions for 984 yards during the regular season.
The 34-year-old is a three-time Super Bowl winner with the Chiefs, an eight-time Pro Bowler and four-time NFL All-Pro.
Kelce also became a household name last season thanks in part to his relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift and the podcast, “New Heights,” that he hosts with his brother, now retired Philadelphia Eagles great, Jason Kelce.
In addition to his celebrity status, Kelce has been one of the NFL’s most productive tight ends. His 907 career receptions and 11,328 career receiving yards rank fourth all-time among tight ends.
