Any rumors about Travis Kelce retiring came to a close on Monday, as the Kansas City Chiefs gave him a two-year contract extension to make him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL. 

The Chiefs announced the deal after reports went out, saying "we signed the greatest tight end ever to a new contract."

Kelce now has two more years at a reported $34.25 million tacked on to the remaining two years of his old deal with the Chiefs. He has $17 million guaranteed money for the 2024 season, as well as additional money vesting year-by-year, per NFL Network. Kelce is now signed through the 2027 season, where he will be 38 years old.

Kelce previously signed a four-year, $57.25 million extension, which had him with the Chiefs until 2026 where he would be an unrestricted free agent. That contract pays out roughly $14.3 million per season, and $21 million of it was guaranteed. 

With his older brother, Jason Kelce, retiring from the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason, many wondered what the younger Kelce would be doing. 

But after back-to-back Super Bowl victories — and Kelce showing that he is still arguably the best tight end in the NFL — he’s ready to keep competing alongside Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs.
