The Kansas City Chiefs signed tight end Travis Kelce to a two-year, $34.25 million extension on Monday, making him the highest paid tight end in regards to average annual salary.
Kelce spoke about the extension on this week's episode of the New Heights podcast that he hosts with his brother, retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce.
While the Chiefs star expressed his gratitude to the team for making this deal, he also acknowledged how significant this contract is to the future of tight ends' deals. He hopes to see other players earn lucrative deals like him.
