Are the Kansas City Chiefs looking to make it three Super Bowl wins in a row?
That’s what it seems like if you take a look at what their front office has just done. They’ve offered tight end Travis Kelce a record-breaking two-year $34.25 million contract that runs through 2027, and comes out to an NFL record $17.125 million per year making him the highest paid tight end in the league.
Then they went and extended Andy Reid’s contract as head coach, locking him up for a 5-year extension until 2029 that will see him earn around $100 million dollars over the length of his extension. That comes out to $20 million dollars a year, which is now the highest head coach salary in the NFL, with Sean Payton of the Denver Broncos coming in at second place at $18 million dollars a year.
You don’t pay this kind of money in the off season if you’re not trying to repeat the previous year’s success.
Then add to all of that the rumors, or wishful thinking, that Travis Kelce may be on the verge of popping the question to Taylor Swift. You know she’s bound to make a couple of appearances at both Kansas City Chiefs home games at Arrowhead stadium, as well as following the team on the road. That is, when she’s not touring Europe as part of the second year of her Era’s Tour.
It looks like it’s going to be another great year for the Kansas City Chiefs!
