Advantage Kelce.

Kelce didn't "take less". He's a TE, one of the lowest paid position groups in the league, and at one point, he was the highest paid TE in the league until Kittle and Waller etc got paid very shortly after.

Now if he'll just marry swift and take half her shit he'll have made a real haul this year.

Up until today he did... he was the 54th highest player in the NFL last year and the 4th highest paid TE.

If he took the Tyreek approach earlier in his career at his peak value/performance he could have absolutely demanded more.

Tyreek was sort of doomed by his actions in college. Never gonna be a big money endorsement person with that type of ugly domestic violence in your background. Probably hard to get a celebrity relationship with that kind of background as well. So you try to squeeze every dollar you can from your NFL career on the field.
