Travis Kelce Signs On For Three More Years With The Chiefs With One Catch
So Travis Kelce is pushing off retirement from the NFL for a possible three more years after signing on with the Kansas City Chiefs for $54.7 million. That breaks down to $12 million in the first year but there is a significant catch: $40 million becomes fully guaranteed only if Kelce remains on the roster through June 2027. This structure essentially makes it a one-year contract, as the Chiefs likely won’t allow that guarantee to activate for salary cap reasons.
Kelce can renegotiate next offseason if he wants to continue playing. Coming off a season with 851 receiving yards and five touchdowns, the future Hall of Famer helped Kansas City win three Super Bowl championships. His production dropped significantly when Patrick Mahomes missed the final four regular season games due to knee injury.
