Chiefs [give Kelce a raise]
LFG Last edited by DaFace; 04-29-2024 at 04:22 PM.. Reason: swapped out the tweet since it's not an "extension" as originally reported |

That still doesn't really explain what those final two years are on the contract, and Sweeney does still call it more of an "adjustment" than an extension. I do wonder if we're talking about void years here and this is a planned denouement for Kelce over the next two years... |

One of those situations where the race to be first just confuses everybody.

So basically he gets a raise the next 2 years to make him the highest paid TE in football (which he should be) and then likely retiring after that.
At least, that's what it sounds like to me. |

If there isn't any guaranteed money after 25, whatever. Normally I hate paying non-QB old guys, but I just can't find a **** to give. Dude deserves it. |

“Every now and then you have one of these guys that are outliers and certainly Travis is one of those players," Veach said when asked how much longer Kelce, 34, can play. "Today we had a chance to get out there in Phase 2 [of the offseason program] and guys were out there running around, and Travis was the first guy in line, and I mean he looked like he was 28 years old.” "The odds of someone playing this far into the thirties are very low, but it does happen, and it happens with just unicorns in the profession, and Travis is one of those and we'll certainly celebrate this with him and hopefully we can ride this thing even longer. So, we'll just have to wait and see. But I've seen no signs of [Kelce] slowing down and everyone notices the kind of postseason he had, and he just found that extra gear and these special ones, these special players are always able to find that extra gear…If anybody could do it, Travis can.'' |

The fact that AJ Brown gets paid nearly twice as much as Kelce is a joke. It's not that tight ends are paid too little and is more that WRs are paid double what they should be. Jerry JAG Jeudy is on more than Kelce

I'd take Kelce on my roster 11 times out of 10 over AJ Brown

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

Finally starting to (hopefully) get some clarity. It sounds like there's no added time on this at all - just a redo of his next two years.

The Chiefs just signed a 34 year old whose showing signs of wear and tear to the highest contract at his position
And yet I feel like he's still criminally underpaid |
