Travis Kelce signs whopping $34M Chiefs deal, becomes NFL’s highest-paid tight end after Taylor Swift is named a billionaire
Champagne problems are the least of Travis Kelce’s concerns.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, signed a $34 million contract extension deal with the NFL on Monday, making him the highest-paid tight end, per NFL reporter Tom Pelissero.
“Kelce now has guaranteed money in 2024, with additional money vesting year-by-year,” Pelissero shared on X. “He’s signed through 2027, when he’ll be 38.”
The Chiefs confirmed Kelce’s two-year contract extension on X, writing, “We signed the greatest tight end ever to a new contract.”
Kelce also took to the platform to share a video of himself sporting a KC hat, saying, “Back at it again baby!

“Feels good to be in KC. I remember coming here 12 years ago, man. It’s an honor and a pleasure and I can’t wait to get after it these next two years but no better than right now. Getting fired up for this year.”
He continued, “We’re back at it baby. Chiefs forever!”
The three-time Super Bowl winner’s teaMMAte Patrick Mahomes also congratulated his close pal on social media, writing, “I told yall I’ll never let him leave!! Congrats my guy!”
Though the details of Kelce’s current contract are unclear, his previous four-year, $57.25 million contract with the Chiefs was set to expire in 2025 with cap numbers of $15.5 million for 2024 and $19.8 million for 2025, per Fox 4.
Kelce has spent 11 seasons with the Chiefs dating back to 2013.
The “New Heights” podcaster’s latest milestone comes weeks after it was revealed his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was officially named a billionaire.
The “Lover” songstress reached billionaire status after her Eras Tour became the first to exceed $1 billion in revenue, Forbes reported on April 2.
Her success was credited to her “earnings from the blockbuster tour, the value of her music catalog and her real estate portfolio.”
