Travis Kelce, widely regarded as one of the NFL’s premier tight ends, has solidified his status not only with his exceptional on-field performance but also with a lucrative new contract extension.
On April 30, during his talk show, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at the Kansas City Chiefs star.
Kimmel kicked off his show with a nod to Kelce’s impressive career achievement. “Congratulations to Travis Kelce,” Kimmel began in his opening monologue.
“Travis Kelce signed a two-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. He is now the highest-paid tight end in the NFL.”
The contract extension, finalized earlier this week, extends Kelce’s tenure with the Chiefs through the 2027 season.
The new deal reportedly adds a substantial $34.25 million to the two years remaining on his previous contract, further cementing Kelce’s position as the NFL’s top-paid tight end.
However, Kimmel couldn’t resist a light-hearted comparison between Kelce’s earnings and those of his high-profile girlfriend, pop sensation Taylor Swift.
“That salary is gum money to girlfriend Taylor Swift,” Kimmel quipped. Swift, who was recently added to Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List, has amassed a staggering fortune of approximately $1.1 billion this year alone, driven by her successful “Fortnight” tour and other ventures.
Kimmel’s joke highlighted the stark contrast between Kelce’s impressive NFL earnings and Swift’s extraordinary financial success.
While Kelce’s new deal makes him the highest-paid player in his position, Kimmel playfully suggested that, in the world of billionaires, his earnings might seem modest by comparison.
The contract extension marks another significant milestone in Kelce’s career, ensuring that the 34-year-old tight end will remain a key figure in the Chiefs’ offense for years to come.
As one of the league’s most dominant and consistent players, Kelce’s new deal not only rewards his past contributions but also underscores the Chiefs’ commitment to maintaining their championship-caliber roster.
Despite Kimmel’s teasing, there’s no denying that Kelce’s contract is a testament to his remarkable talent and impact on the field.
As the highest-paid tight end in the NFL, Kelce continues to be a driving force behind the Chiefs’ success, while his relationship with Swift adds an extra layer of intrigue to his already high-profile career.
