Awesome.

neat

I love kelce

[PHOG]

About time!

[Dante84]

Shit, Clark probably saw 50x ROI on this just from the Swift lift alone, aside from his football contributions.

Well deserved.

[DaFace]

It's hard to imagine any other athlete having a better stretch of two (and maybe three) years than Travis. Dude is on top of the world.

[Mecca]

He's gotta be thrilled for more than just money now...this offseason should make his job easier and extend his career.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I like the Chiefs!

[RINGLEADER]

Quick Google search says Darren Waller (!?) is the highest paid tight end at $17M/year.

So if this is an extension for 2026 and 2027 it would be for something like $35M+?

[Dunerdr]

Dude could demand to be paid whatever and he's worth it. Highest paid for the first time in his career right?

[ForeverIowan]

Love it! Im sure it likely freed up cap space this year as well. Go sign a vet left tackle and corner and lets go after this 3 peat!

[Dante84]

Anyone know if this guy is good?

[suzzer99]

He should really be paid like a top 3-5 wide receiver. I'm assuming this is still a discount to that.

[Dunerdr]

Had some knee problems and a year suspended in college. Has the size and upside though. Fingers crossed.

Wow. Didn't see that coming right now.

[MMXcalibur]

If he really cared about the team, he'd be playing at vet minimum.

Tsk tsk.

[Rainbarrel]

Bo Nix to the Broncos knock too much wind from his sails

[Mecca]

Wow. Didn't see that coming right now.

This will be a fun year for him...

With Brown and Worthy on the team the Chiefs are going to see nothing but 2 high. He's going to have so much more room to work...I applaud the Chiefs for helping him this year and likely extending his career as a productive player.

[arrowheadnation]

Have we seen any numbers yet? Did Veach finagle some more cap room into this? It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he did.

[FloridaMan88]

A case study in career paths… Tyreek vs Kelce.

Tyreek wanted to get paid, forced a trade and gets to spend the rest of his career crashing into Tua’s ceiling.

Kelce took less to remain on a championship team, has won multiple Super Bowls, hooked up with Taylor Swift, etc.

Advantage Kelce.

Only way to tell is to bring him in for a look.

Kelce didn't "take less". He's a TE, one of the lowest paid position groups in the league, and at one point, he was the highest paid TE in the league until Kittle and Waller etc got paid very shortly after.

[Gary Cooper]

I thought we would trade him to the Falcons to finish out his career.

That worked out well for someone else.

Tyreek was sort of doomed by his actions in college. Never gonna be a big money endorsement person with that type of ugly domestic violence in your background. Probably hard to get a celebrity relationship with that kind of background as well. So you try to squeeze every dollar you can from your NFL career on the field.

He can finally afford Swift tickets

He’s not wrong, though. Aaron Donald was just mulling retirement a year ago, signed that extension then promptly retired.

[ThaVirus]

On topic, this is pretty cool.

There’s a high likelihood that this move backfires on us a bit; but even if it does, you just have to charge that shit to the game. He’s done so much for the franchise and never once held out, squeezed us for an absurd payday, etc.

[scho63]

Tears of joy!

He’s one of the most underpaid players in NFL history, along with other great tight ends such as Gronkowski & Tony Gonzalez. The elite tight end market is drastically undervalued compared to elite receivers.

[big nasty kcnut]

To the ship x3

[ThaVirus]

He’s one of the most underpaid players in NFL history, along with other great tight ends such as Gronkowski & Tony Gonzalez. The elite tight end market is drastically undervalued compared to elite receivers.

Right, he could have tried to pull the Jimmy Graham move and argued that he played significant snaps at WR to squeeze us for bigger paydays and never did, at least publicly. I have to assume he didn’t privately either because we almost certainly would have caved.

[Monticore]

This place has mellowed a bit , nobody losing their minds about drafting TE in the 4th then extending Travis , you guys must have really loved Moeaki to lose your minds over the Travis pick.

[PAChiefsGuy]

Yeah but the elite TEs get plenty of endorsements. Gronk never touched his NFL salary while he was playing. He lived off of his endorsement money. He talked about it in his book "“It’s Good to be Gronk."

Just goes to show how important it is to manage money properly.

While I would have liked Kelce to continue to play for cheap I totally get it. Kelce earned his salary from all the years of being underpaid. Glad he will retire a Chief.

[wazu]

Love that man!

[Graystoke]

This dude is the best. Well deserved.

[LagunaSWana]

We finally signed this POS?

[ThyKingdomCome15]

Well deserved, love Kelce. :)

[ntexascardfan]

If this lowers his cap hit in 2024, then what moves are out there we are still trying to make?

[JPH83]

As much as I loved his attitude to money saving us millions, man he deserved this

[RunKC]

This is a favor and works for both parties. He was never gonna have a $19 million cap hit in 2025.

He gets the APY and a fat check today while we get him for a reasonable price a couple more years to control the cap.

Win/win

It's a pretty good structure for that reason (and has some similarities to the way they structured Mahomes's contract). If I'm interpreting it correctly, he'll have new guarantees that kick in each year to protect him in case of injury, but the Chiefs can get out of it in a year or two if needed. The "rolling guarantees" structure seems like the perfect way to give a key player some protection but also ensure the club isn't royally fucked if anything crazy happens.

Below are some quotes from Veach. I could see them doing 1-year deals with Travis if he wants to keep playing beyond the 2025 season.

“Every now and then you have one of these guys that are outliers and certainly Travis is one of those players," Veach said when asked how much longer Kelce, 34, can play. "Today we had a chance to get out there in Phase 2 [of the offseason program] and guys were out there running around, and Travis was the first guy in line, and I mean he looked like he was 28 years old.”

"The odds of someone playing this far into the thirties are very low, but it does happen, and it happens with just unicorns in the profession, and Travis is one of those and we'll certainly celebrate this with him and hopefully we can ride this thing even longer. So, we'll just have to wait and see. But I've seen no signs of [Kelce] slowing down and everyone notices the kind of postseason he had, and he just found that extra gear and these special ones, these special players are always able to find that extra gear…If anybody could do it, Travis can.''

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Now if he'll just marry swift and take half her shit he'll have made a real haul this year.

[Womble]

The fact that AJ Brown gets paid nearly twice as much as Kelce is a joke. It's not that tight ends are paid too little and is more that WRs are paid double what they should be. Jerry JAG Jeudy is on more than Kelce LMAO

Kelce didn't "take less". He's a TE, one of the lowest paid position groups in the league, and at one point, he was the highest paid TE in the league until Kittle and Waller etc got paid very shortly after.

Up until today he did... he was the 54th highest player in the NFL last year and the 4th highest paid TE.

If he took the Tyreek approach earlier in his career at his peak value/performance he could have absolutely demanded more.

Finally starting to (hopefully) get some clarity. It sounds like there's no added time on this at all - just a redo of his next two years.

Yeah, agreed 100%. If he were a WR with his numbers, he'd be getting over $20 million/yr AAV easy peasy. As a TE, he's deserved to be the highest paid at his position for years now. If Veach/Hunt had decided to pay him $20 million/yr AAV for his last two seasons, I'd have been fine with that.

Doesn’t seem like much of a raise for his reception and yardage contribution. Heck, his girlfriend makes more in a couple days work than his entire pay raise.

It’s a 20% raise. They could have left it alone. The market sucks for tight ends, but it’s a pretty valuable weapon if you can take advantage of it like New England did with Gronk and Kansas City is doing with Kelce.

[BWillie]

So Kelce was on contract for two more years but now hes on contract for 4 more years? Im not exactly sure I knew if he had 1 or 2 years left on his current contract...would like to clarify but going forward he's under contract for 3 or 4 more years?

He was under contract for 2 more years. Now he's still under contract for 2 more years, but he's got more guarantees and a little pay bump.

As far as I can tell, the "extension" talk was a complete misinterpretation, though it's possible that was caused by some void years or something weird like that. The actual contract hasn't been filed as far as I've seen.

Never heard of him.

It's going to be nice seeing the middle of the field open more because the defense has to respect our downfield game with Brown and Worthy....

God as my witness, pretty sure I've never seen a man exude such a happy aura... dead serious the man is glowing, he absolutely looks and sounds like someone on Cloud 9

Just give us two more good years, and ride off into your tv career with the female Elvis by your side
