Chiefs sign Travis Kelce to new contract that reportedly makes him highest-paid TE in NFL

The Kansas City Chiefs know better than to screw around with a good thing, announcing on Monday that they've signed star tight end Travis Kelce to a new contract that reportedly makes him the highest-paid tight end in football.

It isn't, however, an extension as initially reported. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero corrected his earlier report that Kelce's new deal was an extension through the 2027 season. Instead, he's getting a raise to $34.25 million on the remaining two years of existing contract that runs through 2025. He was previously due $30.25 million over those two years.

This jibes with a social media video the Chiefs posted of Kelce proclaiming "I can't wait to get after it these next two years" in response to his reworked contract.

The Chiefs haven't offered any clarification on the deal other than announcing that they signed Kelce to "a new contract."
