Travis Kelce Signs $57.25 Million Contract Extension with Kansas City Chiefs

Kelce's New Deal Makes Him Highest-Paid Tight End in NFL

Contract Extension Includes $28 Million Signing Bonus

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has signed a four-year, $57.25 million contract extension with the team, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes a $28 million signing bonus and makes Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. Kelce's previous contract was set to expire after the 2023 season. He was scheduled to make $14.3 million in 2023, but the new extension will pay him an average of $14.31 million per year. The 33-year-old Kelce is one of the most productive tight ends in the NFL. He has been named to the Pro Bowl eight times and has been a First-Team All-Pro selection four times. In 2022, Kelce caught 110 passes for 1,338 yards and 12 touchdowns. The Chiefs are hoping that Kelce can continue to be a key part of their offense for years to come. The team is coming off a disappointing 2022 season in which they went 14-3 but lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game. Kelce's contract extension is a sign that the Chiefs are committed to winning a Super Bowl in the near future. The team has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, and Kelce is a big part of that.
