Chiefs Sign TE Travis Kelce To New Two-Year Extension

The deal rightfully makes Kelce the NFL’s highest-paid tight end in terms of average annual salary. 

It also extends his contract through the 2027 season. 

Kelce, 34, is a former third-round pick of the Chiefs out of Cincinnati back in 2013. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $3.126 million rookie contract and set to make a base salary of $675,000 for the 2016 season when he signed a six-year, $46.8 million contract extension. 

He signed another four-year, $57.25 million extension in 2020. Kelce was due base salaries of $12 million and $16.25 million over the final two seasons of that deal. 

In 2023, Kelce appeared in 15 games for the Chiefs and recorded 93 receptions on 121 targets for 984 yards and five touchdowns.

We’ll have more on Kelce’s injury as the news is available.
