The Kansas City Chiefs are doing right by one of their star players.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs have agreed to terms with TE Travis Kelce on a restructured contract that will pay him more money in 2022. Back in 2020, Kelce signed a four-year contract extension worth $57.25 million. Rapoport says the team will move money from the back of the contract to compensate Kelce. Kelce had roughly $49 million in base salary left to be earned over the life of the remaining four years of his contract.
