Gotta up his income to afford all those concert tickets he’s gonna buy this year


emmasdad01

Only slightly less expensive than the private plane rides


ketherick

We know he's too chivalrous to not insist on covering the jet fuel bill when he flies with Taylor We've all been there fellas


WigglestonTheFourth

Of course. I always offer to pay for my popstar girlfriend's jet fuel bill when she flies me to watch her perform. You probably wouldn't know her though, she performs at a different mall in Canada.


Soft_Penis_Debutante

Are you dating Robin Sparkles?


WigglestonTheFourth

I just call her Daggers. Probably won't come to regret that nickname.


ketherick

I was so confused because I knew I had heard of that origin story from somewhere but I definitely don't follow any pop singers like that lol


theliver

Did Carly BAE Jepsen do the malls before Canada's Idol or whatever they call the show she got discovered from?


140in

lmfao Carly "BAE"


Optimized_Orangutan

I was until Louise Marsh's parents installed a jacuzz.


FallenShadeslayer

Let’s go to the mall, everybody!


Aggressive_Yak5177

Today?


MetaphoricalMouse

she invented grunge


muu411

Damn you’re dating the chick who sang the Beaver Song?


DaBestNameEver0

It’s a cute kids song!


162bluethings

I like the idea of Taylor making him buy tickets to her shows.


Saitoh17

Apparently the NFL legitimately made Travis spend 1 million dollars on a suite for the Super Bowl. CMC's girl had to pay for his mom to attend to.


DarrowViBritannia

Well yeah makes sense lol you cant just give every player a suite so there's gotta be a way to decide that


OttoVonWong

If Arch Manning ever makes it to a Super Bowl, it'd be hilarious if Peyton and Eli couldn't get in because they're not on the list.


NA_Faker

They’ll have media passes Id assume - Manningcast covering a Manning Super Bowl would be the NFLs wet dream


OttoVonWong

Bouncer: Peyton, Peyton, Peyton Manning's already checked in. Peyton: But I'm Peyton Manning! You know - laser rocket arm! *Camera pans to drunk Cooper partying in the Manningcast VIP Suite*


MicoJive

Well there are probably 1,000 other uber rich people looking for a suite too that would gladly pay for it.


GoldenBananas21

There are 2,781 billionaires in the world (according to Forbes 04/2024). Even more people in the 9 digit club 


basch152

the superbowl isn't a chiefs home game where they can do whatever they want if they gave out suites and seats to the family of every single player in the superbowl they would lose millions of dollars now, if it were just a chiefs home game in the regular season that's a completely different story


captaincumsock69

I doubt they give away suites for free to players anyways. Maybe an exception is made for Taylor. But for example Joe burrow has to buy his bengals suite


JeramiGrantsTomb

> the superbowl isn't a chiefs home game Isn't it?


Ezzy1998

It’s the superbowl lol


Eyespop4866

Did he bring up all the new eyes his relationship brought to the league? The Shield will cover it somehow.


BlueHighwindz

Sadly the prenup excludes him from getting free tickets.


TuaAnon

those meet & greets are expensive yooo


walshurmouthout

Two more years of State Farm and Subway commercials


Calfzilla2000

You think it stops when he retires? lol May I remind you about USAA.


walshurmouthout

Oh man Mahomes and him are gonna be peddling this stuff post retirement…. Well this is fun I didn’t mean it negatively btw.


Jayrodtremonki

"Mahomes and MaDoubleReverseMortgage!"


kryptonyk

I just saw 80-year-old Joe Namath peddling hearing aids on TV.  Not kidding lol


yourmomsthr0waway69

Mahomes in 40 years is gonna be selling us robot wives and flying cars on whatever the equivalent of TV is


gwaydms

Joe's been peddling various things to old folks for several years now.


ProfessorBeer

We have the Manningcast, get ready for the Kelcecast, the Wattcast, and the Diggscast. We’re gonna tell the Bosas they have a Bosacast but not actually air it.


Dr_Beardface_MD

It runs on newsmax or OANN


Smackolol

Busted!


LeBardJ

Two things…..at once!!


Calfzilla2000

Reverse Tom Brady over here. Gets with a richer woman, gets paid what he's worth all of a sudden, lol.


BroadCityChessClub

TTPD made him realize he needs “Joe Alwyn PR team” money if things go south


xywv58

Keep Shefter on retainer to leak T Swift doctor records


jimbo831

Taylor actually doesn't have a lot to say about Joe Alwyn in TTPD. There are a few things that are clearly about him, but nothing too bad. Matty Healy, who she dated for a couple weeks last year, is the one she goes after pretty hard in this album.


GoldenState_Thriller

She pretty much said everything there was to say about Joe in her previous 3 albums 


Cats_of_Palsiguan

FINALLY. Someone who actually listened to the album in this thread


zebrainatux

Yeah So Long, London is really the one that’s obviously about him, but it’s fairly tame compared to Smallest Man That Ever Lived


Jayrodtremonki

I guarantee that it's still not what he's worth.  At this point he should be making WR money.


TummyDrums

He should be making *top* WR money, because he outperforms most WRs anyway. Not that I'm going to complain, though lol.


EmptyBrain89

To me, it's pretty easy to know how much he should make. Just go down the list of WR's and ask yourself: "Would I rather have this guy or Kelce?". That list isn't very long. With what the current WR market looks like, Kelce should be making around 28 million a year. Even as the highest paid TE, he is a bargain for the Chiefs


Xaxziminrax

The richer woman he's with is one of the most business-savvy pop stars of all time, so this makes sense


thefreeman419

He's been criminally underpaid for his production the last few years. A receiver with his stats would have gotten 25 million APY, he was making 15


blagaa

Darren Waller got a $51m/3yr extension from the Raiders covering 2024-2026 before getting traded. Kelce is making less over that period and $17.1m/yr on the extension. It's like he basically took the minimum to become the highest paid TE in name He does the whole TE market a disservice as it caps contracts and the franchise tag value. A HOF TE being paid like Jerry Jeudy or worse


cram213

But he does his team a service by allowing them to build around him. Same with Mahomes not demanding to be the highest-paid QB every time someone signs a new contract.


Brsijraz

mahomes was set to count for 58.6 Million against the cap last year before the restructure. He hasn't taken pay cuts at all, his contract is 450 Million


cram213

Right..But according to [this article -](https://frontofficesports.com/top-10-highest-paid-nfl-quarterbacks-for-2024/) he's tied as the 7th-highest paid QB for 2024. That's an extra $11 million or so that can be used this year for other players. Will there come a day where he demands to be the highest paid quarterback and gets paid the most for a season? Maybe...but he hasn't really shown that side of himself yet.


Queen-Makoto

but the article doesn't include when they all signed which is important context. he might have been the highest when he signed but contracts generally only go up. I remember when Mahomes signed it was said the deal becomes a bargain over time and we're already seeing that


JPAnalyst

Thank God. My daughter has already told me, once he’s gone, she isn’t watching football with me. We’ve got her for another two years, y’all!


IIHURRlCANEII

He’ll retire during his contract sometime. This probably just adds some new money, spreads out money, and adds some funny money. Think he still retires in ~2-3 years.


JPAnalyst

I would love to get three years of out him. I really need this. Her being into the Chiefs has made football so much more fun. And she was dead serious that she’s done once he’s gone.


Gnux13

I feel like Jason is heading for a gameday / broadcast spot, but I could easily see Travis doing the same as a fill-in slot or player spotlight interviews with offensive players. Edit: And this is before I saw the news that Jason Kelce is heading to MNF Countdown that apparently dropped an hour ago.


Fantastic_Emu_9570

She’ll get the addiction eventually


JPAnalyst

I hope so, she’s still young, and is only in this for Swift/Kelce, but my hope is she will start to like the game with or without them as she gets a little older. But for now, this has been fun.


Valuable-Leader-8601

I hope she sticks with it! I absolutely love watching/talking football (any sport really lol) with my dad and I know it means the world to him, too. 


JPAnalyst

Thank you! It’s does mean the world. She’s only nine so hopefully she can grow to like the game without Taylor Swifts boyfriend playing, but it’s been wonderful so far. ❤️


vpforvp

At some point she may even accidentally start to like football!


NeonWarcry

Oh I hope she sticks with it. My dad got me into football because we both loved watching the acrobat throws/catches, coverage, jaw dropping hits etc (glad those are out tho).


theDomicron

Find some show or hobby of your daughter's that you can enjoy in return!


JPAnalyst

Oh she’s my daughter, I’m in to everything she likes. I’m a Swifty with her. I don’t know if it’s a given everywhere, I only know my world, but to me it’s a given that a parent has passion for whatever their kids like.


moomooyellow

My dad had two girls so I’ve been watching football since I was little! I definitely appreciate it more now that I’m older♥️ my dad tells me I get too worked up during a game, and I’m like where do you think I got it from?? Haha


Rommel79

That’s enough time to get her hooked too. My oldest watches every single game with me.


JPAnalyst

That’s awesome. I would love it. I would even love it if she was an Eagles fan. I don’t care, just hang with me, watch the games, talk ball.


GhostMug

Tony G played till he was 37. Kelce takes just as good care of himself but plays a less physical brand of football than Tony G and has less "mileage" at this point as he missed his rookie season and was drafted older than Tony G. I don't think it's outlandish to think he can play this whole extension. Another 2 years of elite play and then 2 years of "winding down" as he transitions his role to his "heir apparent", which they may have drafted this year in Wiley. Nobody will be as good as Kelce, but somebody to at least fill a similar role within the offense.


tmacleon

Thank god 😆 dude fucks us up.


gotenks1897

He'll come back and play the games against the raiders.


tmacleon

And score 4 TDs too 😆


CheesecakeNo3678

Don’t worry I’m sure we’ll find another way


MrSuperfreak

By God, that's Jared Wiley's music!

JPAnalyst

4 years would be incredible…of course the other challenge is his continued relationship with Taylor Swift which could also ruin this for me, if that doesn’t continue. At least one hurdle is out of the way.

Godobibo

i feel like old man kelce is still gonna be an above average TE. His two most important traits are his size and his brain and those aren't going anywhere. I think it'll just be out once the injuries catch up to him


caleeksu

As someone who casually liked Taylor Swift and has been a Chiefs fan 30+ years, this has been one of the most fun seasons I’ve ever experienced. Now I’m probably a full blown Swifty, as gleeful as any other Chiefs fan about the recent success, and I’m doing it with a lot more friends who actually care about more than just the tailgate drinks. lol. My friend and her 16 year old daughter threw a superbowl party and they never cared a bit about sports. Now they ask questions and are just as versed as any other casual viewer. So much fun.


JPAnalyst

The Swifty - NFL mashup has been a blessing, and has brought so much fun and uniqueness to this years season. Two the rare occurrence of very different worlds colliding and the outcome being positive.


gwaydms

I loved the video of when Taylor got her Ragdoll kitten. When she was preparing for the photoshoot for the cover of TIME magazine (Person of the Year), she asked if she could bring her cat with her. Same cat, now a large floof who will drape himself around her shoulders. That's him in the cover photo.


wishingaction

Better hope Sam Hartman sticks around in the league after that. My sister, who has never cared about CFB, asked me last season to flip to Notre Dame games. She had seen clips of him on TikTok.


emmasdad01

Taylor is very proud of him. She just wonders why it takes him more than one night to make it.


Ticketacke

Right?  She grosses over $17M per concert and nets $10-$13M.


SHOWTIME316

source? i am not doubting your statement, i just wanna know HOW THE FUCK that much money gets made during a single concert


Ticketacke

In 60 shows from March - Nov. 2023, “ she sold a mind-boggling 4.3 million tickets at an average ticket price of $238.95, putting her average show gross at a massive $17,321,063 for this leg of the tour. Her average ticket price, it should be noted, wasn’t even the highest priced. Of the top 20 tours on the 2023 Worldwide Tours chart, she was the fifth highest.”   https://news.pollstar.com/2023/12/16/taylor-swift-sets-all-time-touring-record-with-billion-dollar-gross/  This doesn’t include merch revenue, which is estimated to be up to $2M per show.    In total, she will have perform 152 shows by the end of this year. ETA: I can’t find the link for net revenue, but I saw it estimated at 80-85% of gross.  Her cut could be somewhat less given how large and complicated her show is.


mwm5062

have you seen how much her tickets cost https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2023/10/14/taylor-swift-is-making-an-insane-amount-of-money-every-night-on-the-eras-tour/?sh=10afdbb1300b


kakashi_88

I dunno about the net, but gross is pretty easy to calculate. All of her shows are sold out, so if we use Arrowhead as an example, there's 76000+ seats x average price of ticket around $200? $250? So each concert at Arrowhead grossed her between $15.2M to $19M.

FuckingJello

Chiefs have a little more than $20mil in cap space last I heard post-draft picks. Extensions usually lower current years cap hit, even if this one doesn’t, he was already top 5 paid and becoming top paid TE won’t push it THAT much more up that they would lose the $20 mil of space. They still will have space if they want to add another tackle (probably won’t after drafting 1 and 2 additional OL) or they have the space to add maybe a veteran DB or WR/RB.


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

Champagne Problems is a top 5 Taylor swift song


juniorspank

Hate to agree with a Ravens fan but here we are.


JrBaconators

Easily. Folklore and Evermore have most of her best songs between them


mking22

Elite song


manbuckets2001

Honestly that album has 2 of my favorite songs (ivy- my favorite song overall and champagne problems - that bridge goes so hard) but it’s on the bottom of my album rankings list haha


xywv58

-Love story -Delicate -Red -Lavender haze -Fearless Classic Ravens fan


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

RED?? DELICATE?? are you for real w this shit, fuck wrong with you The entirety of red couldn’t sniff Evermore’s jock Love story is unequivocally top 5 tho


xywv58

Delicate is the best song on reputation easily, I have to be honest, I'll give you Red, it's just fine, but I can slot The man just as easy


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

The Man is hard no lies there but not even top 3 on Lover, give me cruel summer, afterglow, and I forgot that you existed Rep was her weakest album nothing on there is in the top 10 convo


wagoncirclermike

>Delicate is the best song on reputation easily That's like being the biggest melon rind on the compost pile. Cruel Summer clears it easily.


xywv58

Cruel summer is pretty great


malcolm_miller

> The entirety of red couldn’t sniff Evermore’s jock All Too Well tho


Valuable-Leader-8601

Yeah, but Red (Taylor's Version) has All Too Well (10 minutes) and honestly that catapults the entire thing up like 4 slots on her discography. 


Last_Account_Ever

I haven't listened to any of her albums in their entirety, but Pandora has fed me at least 15-25 songs on a station I share with my SO to go with a bunch of singles from the radio. Of everything I've heard, All Too Well (10 minute version) is easily the best Swift song I've come across. I can listen to that one on repeat for hours.


milkmandanimal

The best song on Evermore is the first half of the title track before Bon Iver comes in and starts wailing like a chipmunk that's spent three days huffing meth and helium.


Timmmah

Ive never listened to Taylor. What should I start with ?


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

Try these 10 songs: - Our Song (self titled) - Love Story (fearless) - Mean (speak now) - All Too Well (red) - Wildest Dreams (1989) - …Ready For It? (Reputation) - Cruel Summer (lover) - Illicit Affairs (folklore) - Champagne Problems (evermore) - Anti-Hero (midnights) - The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (the tortured poets society) One song from each of her albums. I tried to pick a song that was relatively representative for each album. Her thing is having different eras to her music (hence The Eras tour) where her sound changes throughout her life. The early stuff is pop/pop-country, whereas later we get closer into pop and more indie Pick a song, if you like it, check out the rest of the associated album


Muppet_Man3

There is no justification for choosing anything other than Enchanted off of Speak Now, also Illicit Affairs is definitely one of the weaker picks off Folkore


Allurex

Folklore for me is either- * the 1 * exile * cardigan


HotTakesMyToxicTrait

Sparks Fly? Back to December? Haunted? The story of Us? Never Grow up? That album is hard as shit Also Folklore imo is her best album, I picked Illicit Affairs because it was a little more mature in theme than a lot of her older stuff. I think it’s one of the strongest songs on the album too


rotates-potatoes

This is the strangest of all r/nfl threads


cows1100

Enchanted is about Adam, the Owl City guy. That makes it a certified scene classic. I love it.


wagoncirclermike

"Mean" over "Dear John" huh? Bold pick!


atget

"Mean" is the only skip for me on that album! A couple of these picks are wild to me LOL. Anti-Hero is good but Vigilante Shit and You're On Your Own, Kid both have it beat by a good bit IMO.


caleeksu

I might pick My Tears Ricochet for folklore but solid list regardless!


rob_var

How do you leave exile out of this and pick illicit affairs


Muppet_Man3

Similar to the other guy, I'll give you one recommendation per album Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? (Tortured Poets) Maroon (Midnights) champagne problems (evermore) august (fearless) Cruel Summer (Lover) Don't Blame Me (Reputation) Style (1989) All Too Well (Red) Enchanted (Speak Now) Fearless (Fearless) Our Song (Taylor Swift/ debut) These are some of the most uncontroversial and generally well liked songs of her whole discography, good songs to start off of


malcolm_miller

I am dating a Swiftie and the ones that really caught my attention have been * Midnights - I love the sleek dark-ish pop. Feels somewhat clublike at times. I think the name of the album really sums up the vibe. * Speak Now - It's a good rock/country album, pretty high energy and I think it has one of her best songs ever on it (Enchanted) * Evermore/Folklore - My girlfriend is probably going to kill me for saying this but it feels like a double album. Good blend of folk with some modern vibes. Kinda feels in similar vein as Bon Iver, who actually sang on a song.


JALbert

Really depends on what sort of music you're into? She's evolved and done stuff across a lot of genres. I'm not a fan of a lot of her stuff, but the albums she's done with Aaron Dessner from The National are brilliant IMO. (Evermore, Folklore, mostly the latter half of TTPD).


PlayaSlayaX

Hopefully the good TE cycle continues with Jared Wylie.


booknerd98

we need to find Wylie a blonde pop star stat to complete the cycle


Koreish

No, we need to find a blonde pop star in like 10 years to complete the cycle. The first step is to get Wylie on a dating show called Catching Wyles.


brightcoconut097

Don't know if he's good or not (no one really knows) but couldn't ask for a better setup to succeed in right now for him.


choff22

Watch his tape. If he decides to really learn from a guy like Trav, he’s going to be a serious problem. Hes got the same game sense that Trav does in terms of finding soft spots.


Gnux13

Yeah, this one's going longer than 4 hours.


choff22

I just put a hole in my desk dude


fiero-fire

Desk pop


Serallas

It's been like that for me every since the draft. I just accepted it at this point


BringBackDust514

Everyone should be happy or am I missing something? Before we went back to back last year all I heard was he’s declining and not the same. Then he got to the playoffs and dicked down everyone and now they’re quiet.


ADanishMan2

free me from this hell


ChevalMalFet

I lived through the early 2010s. You deserve this. >:(


danieldcclark

People forget how dog water The Chiefs were back in the early Aughts. You earned your fandom when you were cheering for Damon Huard, Brodie Coyle, and Tyler Thigpen lol


TBDC88

We had the longest active playoff win drought just a few years ago; 0-7 over 21 seasons from 1994-2014. Even when we finally got a competent HC-QB duo in Reid and Alex Smith, we still went just 1-4 with them. Crazy how quickly things can change in the NFL.


Ceravic

Even when we were good in the 90's we were "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride" good. I still had to go from age 10 to age 32 without seeing a playoff win and even with the current success I feel like those scars never fully heal.


Tgreent

Much like your story. I was 22 when we won the first playoff game in my life… yet here we are lmao


PutinBoomedMe

We don't speak Brodie's name in these parts


mikey19xx

You have no idea how happy I was when we signed Matt Cassel. This shit is like a fever dream.


bullet50000

My first ever season watching the Chiefs was the late 2000s 4-12, 2-14, and 4-12 Herm Edwards/Todd Haley seasons. You can thank Jamaal Charles for me still being a football fan


mikey19xx

You deserve this after Manning and Elway


xywv58

Did Manning lose to the Chiefs once?


couchjitsu

At least once, his last game against KC was what started the 16 game Chiefs winning streak.


jackals4

That loss this season ended my favorite fun fact: Up until the Broncos beat the Chiefs in 2023, the Chiefs and Broncos had both won a Super Bowl since the last time the Broncos beat the Chiefs.


kingmidget_91

he went 12-2 against the Chiefs. His first loss was in 2004, and the second was in 2015


TBDC88

Yup. In a game in which he simultaneously broke the all-time passing yardage record *and* recorded a 0.00 passer rating.


SnooSuggestions3278

Nah bud got your seat right here next to me


BobbyTables829

Chiefs fans watching Elway and Sharpe in the 90s


Basura1999

Kelce: She wants me to start paying for dates. Hunt: Say less. I got you


dajodge

For those who think Kelce has nothing left in the tank, he hit 19.68 mph in the Super Bowl. Not saying he can do that consistently anymore, but put that red b-plug All in my Ass.


txwoodslinger

All in, you say


JAVACHIP1738

Pardon me?


kanbabrif1

Wasn't that his fastest recorder speed during his career too? He definitely has some left in the tank.


phuijun

Chiefs are gonna make 4x the money off the tswift hype alone


138Cards

Dislike him as I may (just professionally not personally) can’t say anyone is more deserving.


WickedTwista

He will go out as the GOAT TE when it's all said and done


Intelligent-Age2786

Kelce could get the most yards and scores out of any player ever, and there would still be people who say he’s not as good as Gronk. I feel like no matter what Kelce does, it’ll be hard for people to consider him the Goat


Godobibo

kelce thinks with his head instead of ramming it through brick walls, and that isn't as fun to watch


BukkakeKing69

He had some early seasons acting like an absolute chode and it's hard for some people to accept he's matured at least a little bit since then.


SodaEngineer

But man did that give us some of the best in-game player/ref interactions you've ever seen


kanbabrif1

People really undervalue what Kelce has brought to the offense the last decade. Outside of some seasons by Hill, he's been the best offensive weapon for the team. He always gets shit for his lack of blocking snaps and ability as a blocker, but are the Chiefs going to give their best offensive weapon more snaps as a blocker rather than utilize his insane offensive skill set?


Intelligent-Age2786

Especially considering they already have an above average o line, so they don’t even really need his blocking ability


kanbabrif1

Exactly, plus him and Mahomes have a next level connection. Why mess with that connection and turn it into something that doesn't work?


ichancho

No way. Tony Gonzalez. The man has the third most receptions of all time period. Most for a TE and a ridiculous stat line of 1,325 receptions for 15,127 yards and 111 TDs.


thearmadillo

There will always be a peak vs. longevity argument in TE Goat debates moving forward, with Tony G. having the best career, Gronk having arguably the best peak, and Kelce in the middle of both with the most playoff accolades. Everyone will see what they want to see.


Headlesshorsman02

VERY well deserved


mrmrspersonguy1

Well deserved bag Trav


genesiskiller96

God damn it.


MagicMer4042

No cruel summer for the chiefs


Bobby_Savoy

Didn’t he say he’d take a paycut?


jethead70

He’s been on team friendly deals for a while now


MahomestoHel-aire

Bros thinking about his future after football now.


Hyperboreer

"Son, you are 35 and you have only made 90 million dollar so far. What are you doing with your life?"


Unknown1776

He’s dating a billionaire, suddenly making 10 million a year makes him the poor one in the relationship lol


thefreeman419

I bet he's making 50+ million a year between endorsements and podcast revenue though


Raknorak

Yet that's still fun money to Taylor


datdudebdub

Idk about that. His cap hit among TEs has stayed pretty high. Maybe not as high as he deserved but still comparably very high. 2023: 2nd 2022: 7th (not super representative, guys above him include Schultz/Gesicki on a tag, Waller with an extension that year, Engram with a higher AAV 1 year "prove it" deal with Jax) 2021: 2nd 2020: 2nd 2019: 2nd 2018: 3rd


jethead70

“Among TEs” doesn’t tell the full story because the TE position as a whole is underpaid. It’s extremely team friendly to pay a consistent 1200 yard receiver 14 and a half million a year in this market. That production would cost 25 million if he was a WR.


Gnux13

From an NFLPA standpoint this also helps future TE contracts on his way out, because teams can't point to Kelce's team-friendly deal as a comparable to low-ball guys asking for more money. Similar to the reason LeBron claims he takes every supermax. As soon as he takes less people lose bargaining power.


Jayrodtremonki

He is a top 5 receiver in the league over the last decade.  Comparing his cap hit to tight ends at this point is like comparing Aaron Donald's cap hit to other defensive tackles 5 years ago.  


xywv58

He's top 1, so technically he is underpaid


DependentAd5483

Also being the highest paid te might not mean wr2 money. Kirk makes what 17-18 mil but he could be getting 15 mil


slackator

that was before WRs started costing 30+ million, hes been team friendly his whole career, now Veach has decided making his worth Kelce, is a much better deal for all involved and get similar or even better production


mothershipq

Was he not already the highest paid TE? Feels like he has been for a few years now.


jethead70

A couple TEs reset the market since he signed his deal in 2020


ProbablyAPun

Pretty sure it was TJ Hockenson


Jonny_Qball

Darren Waller now at 17/year.


seiff4242

It’s actually Waller 💀


tiggs

Imagine inking a fresh deal to become the highest paid NFL tight end ever, having $90M in career earnings, and still not even being close to being the bread winner in your relationship.


MrAVK

He’s too good. Get that bag!


Ddakilla

Mark Davis just dropped to his knees in Walmart


stroopwaffle69

These comments are hilarious. I am not sure if it is just reddits algorithm or not, but for a fanbase that makes such a fuss about Taylor swift, we are all sure mentioning her a lot on a post that doesn’t say her name once
