Travis Kelce Signs New 3-Year Deal with Chiefs

0:00On March 24, Travis Kelsey assigned a new three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. It's a real three-year deal without any void years tacked on. For next season in 2026, he gets $12 million, all fully guaranteed. That breaks down to a $3 million base salary, a $3 million reporting bonus early in training camp and $6 million in. Per-game roster bonuses across 17 regular season games. Those per-game bonuses pay out about $352,941 each time he's on the 53-man roster, even if he's on injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list. The only way he misses them is if he's on the non-football illness or injury list. The deal also packs in incentives worth up to $3 million for 2026. He can earn up to $2 million with a playoff spot and strong playing time during the regular season. A Super Bowl appearance adds more, up to $1 million depending on snaps played.

1:01Looking ahead, 2027 and 2028 come with minimum salaries and a massive $40 million roster bonus due in 20. 28. That bonus locks in fully on June 8, 2027, giving the Chiefs first dives if Kelsey wants to keep playing. Other teams showed interest in him for next year, so this keeps him off the open market. In the end, it's built as a one-year pact with options to extend, buying both sides time to renegotiate before the future years kick in or get scrapped.
