The Kansas City Chiefs just made Travis Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the NFL with a two-year contract extension. Now, Patrick Mahomes will try to win a third consecutive Super Bowl leading an explosive offense.
Andy Reid addressed the wide receiver position by signing Hollywood Brown and drafting Xavier Worthy. Of course, there’s still a lot of uncertainty about a possible suspension for Rashee Rice. Meanwhile, Isaiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire remain as running backs.
However, the key piece for Mahomes has always been Kelce. Although he didn’t have a spectacular regular season in 2023, the veteran tuned the switch on during the NFL playoffs against teams like the Bills, Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.
Travis Kelce is 34-years old and might have signed the last big contract of his Hall of Fame career. The goal seems to be clear. Rewrite history books with another championship ring.
