Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce got a healthy raise Wednesday as the Chiefs opened training camp in St. Joseph.
Kelce was already under contract through 2025, but Kansas City has restructured his deal to enact a $3 million raise for this season, that according to NFL Media.
The 32-year-old Kelce signed a four-year, $57.25 million extension with the Chiefs in 2020, and was due $7.46 million in 2022, which ranked 13th among NFL tight ends. Now, with $3-million from the back end of the contract being moved to 2022, Kelce will make about $10.46-million for this season, which ranks eighth in the league for tight ends.
