One of the greatest to ever do it is OFFICIALLY coming back.
The Chiefs have signed Travis Kelce to a 3-year, $54.735M deal, per multiple reports.
insider Ian Rapoport reported that Kelce’s agent, Mike Simon, managed to get the pro bowler a three-year, $54.735M deal that can be worth up to $57.735M.
This month, it was revealed that Kelce is set to return for a 14th season after reaching agreement with the franchise on a new one-year deal.
However, now he reportedly has a three-year deal in his hands.
“I think we’ve kind of taken a different approach with Travis in the sense that we’ve prepared for either scenario,” Chiefs general manager Brett Veach said during last month’s scouting combine.
“Coach (Andy Reid) had mentioned on Friday he’s had great dialogue with Travis. On our end, myself, (assistant general manager) Chris Shea and Travis’ crew, we’ve had some good dialogue there. Travis is the best, he’s an icon and hopefully he comes back and we’ll just let that process play out.”
Last season, Kelce caught 76 receptions for 851 yards and five touchdowns — his lowest catch total since 2015. Despite that, it was among the highest totals across the board for tight ends in the league.
Kelce’s résumé ranks among the greatest for his position. Across 192 regular-season games, he has totaled 1,080 receptions for 13,002 yards and 82 touchdowns – placing him fourth all-time in catches and third in receiving yards among tight ends.
At 36 years old, retirement is drawing near for the future Hall of Famer. But for one more season, he’ll be back in action and hope to go out with a bang.
