Travis Kelce is proving his loyalty.
After months of rumors and questions looming over him over whether he would retire from the NFL or not, the tight end has committed himself for not one, not two, but three more years with the Kansas City Chiefs, the only team he has ever played for.
The athlete first joined the Chiefs in 2013 when he was drafted in the third round of the draft that year, and heading into his 14th season with the NFL, he has now almost doubled his contract. Here's what we know.

When Travis renewed his contract with the Chiefs in 2024, at the time a two-year contract, per sports salary tracker Spotrac, the deal was worth $34.25 million, meaning he was earning a $17.125 million yearly average, making him one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league.
Now he has signed a three-year, $54.735 million deal that can be worth up to $57.735 million, with a $18.245 million average, done by agent Mike Simon, per NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Moreover, he'll make at least $12 million in his first year of the deal (2026) with $3 million available in incentives.

Though there is little to no concrete, public evidence to substantiate an accurate net worth for many celebrities, Travis included, some outlets estimate his net worth to reportedly be around $90 million.
Last year, he and his brother Jason Kelce, who retired from the Eagles in March 2024, secured a deal with Amazon's Wondery for their podcast reportedly worth over $100 million, for exclusive audio and video rights, for the next three years.

"Her fortune includes more than $500 million in estimated wealth amassed from royalties and touring, plus a music catalog worth $500 million and some $125 million in real estate," the outlet reports.

Travis doesn't shy away from taking on jokes about his soon-to-be wife's astronomical wealth.
In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2024 right after signing his previous two-year deal, host Jimmy Kimmel first shared: "Travis Kelce signed a two-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. He is now the highest-paid tight end in the NFL," before joking: "Or as Taylor Swift calls it, gum money."
"Can you imagine being in a relationship where you make $34 million and you're still the broke boyfriend?" he further teased.
