Travis Kelce, the legendary Kansas City Chiefs tight end known for his chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is gearing up for his next Super Bowl appearance.
Super Bowl LIX will be his fifth opportunity to compete for the vaunted Lombardi Trophy, and he will make history alongside the Chiefs if they succeed in completing the NFL’s first-ever championship three-peat.
How much did Kelce earn this season?
Kelce is one of the highest-paid tight ends in the NFL after his years of success in Kansas City. In 2024, he renegotiated his contract with the Chiefs. Both parties agreed to a two-year deal for $34,250,000.
His base salary for the season was $5,750,000. Kelce also earned an $11,000,000 roster bonus and a $250,000 workout bonus, bringing his total pay in 2024 to $17,000,000 per Spotrac.
Based on yearly average pay, this made him the highest-paid tight end in 2024. According to OverTheCap, the Minnesota Vikings T.J. Hockenson is very close behind him in second place earning $16,500,000 for the season.
