Kelce has won three Super Bowl with the Chiefs since the team selected him in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He has spent his entire 11-year NFL career in Kansas City, earning nine Pro Bowl selections and four All-Pro selections to go with his three championships.
In 2020, Kelce signed a four-year, $57 million extension to keep him in K.C. through the 2025 season. He was due a base salary of $12 million in 2024 and $16.25 million in 2025 before becoming a free agent. He was the fourth-highest-paid tight end by annual value ($14.31 million) before the extension, trailing the New York Giants' Darren Waller ($17 million), Minnesota Vikings' T.J. Hockenson ($16.5 million) and San Francisco 49ers' George Kittle ($15 million).
