The Kansas City Chiefs rewarded one of their veteran leaders with a pay raise last week.
Travis Kelce received an advance on his pay by way of a restructured contract last week. Essentially, he’ll earn more of the money in his contract a bit sooner than originally intended. The team rewarded Kelce as he has been the consummate professional throughout his career.
“It’s just another reason why I love being here, man,” Kelce told reporters on Monday. “I’ve done everything I can to do things the right way on the field and in the community. And I’m going to continue to do that. They know that and they know what type of player they’re going to get with me. What type of leader they’re going to get in this building and also in the community.”
