Travis Kelce has officially signed his new extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. And it’s two years longer than everyone expected. 

Kelce announced he would be returning for a 14th season earlier this month, crediting his fiancée, Taylor Swift, with driving him toward said decision.

It was initially reported that the team would re-sign the tight end on a one-year deal. However, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has reported that the player has actually inked a three-year contract worth $54.735 million.

The deal could be worth up to $57.735 million, with Kelce set to earn $12 million plus a potential $3 million in incentives in 2026. 

The reactions were marked with shock, with fans incredulous.

“Three year deal?” one asked.

“You’re telling me we’re stuck w this for 3 more years?” another wondered.

“Unless its 1 year and retired he fleeced them,” said a third.

“3 years? He don’t even got 1…. What an overpay,” another comment read.

“I triple checked the name – I thought this was satire,” someone wrote.

“I doubt he even plays all 3 years dude looked like he was boutta retire after this season what makes you think he’s gonna play 3 more years,” a user said.

“What the f**k is this? He’s not worth all that anymore,” someone else declared.

Kelce has admittedly slowed a step and, over the past two seasons, hasn’t been the player fans knew. 

Still, he says he has not lost his passion for the game. 

“I’m still in love with this game,” he told Pat McAfee two weeks ago. “I still love going to work, putting on the pads, grinding it out and just playing the game. I think my best opportunity was playing for the Chiefs yet again and running this thing back with Pat Mahomes and Coach (Andy) Reid.”

As to whether the Chiefs’ decision to tie him down long-term pays off remains to be seen. 

But he’s likely looking forward to his wedding at the moment, which is reportedly set to take place before training camp.
