Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce has signed a contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2027 season, as reported by the NFL Network. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but it is sure to make Kelce one of the highest-paid players at his position.
This news comes as a cause for celebration for Kelce’s teammate, quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has frequently praised Kelce as his favorite target on the field. During the 2023 playoffs, Kelce surpassed Hall of Famer Jerry Rice for the most receptions in postseason history, solidifying his status as one of the greatest tight ends of all time.
Despite narrowly missing his eighth consecutive 1,000-yard season by just 16 yards in 2023, Kelce’s impressive performance still earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl for the ninth straight year and his fourth first-team All-Pro selection.
Fans can expect Kelce to continue his stellar play with the Chiefs as he has shown no signs of slowing down. His career stats in the NFL and postseason speak for themselves, with Kelce consistently ranking among the top tight ends in the league.
In addition to his on-field success, Kelce has also become a crossover star with appearances on popular shows like “Saturday Night Live” and his own podcast alongside his brother, Jason Kelce. With his contract extension in place, Kelce is sure to continue making waves both on and off the field for years to come.
