Kelce Signs Three-Year Chiefs Deal With Poison Pill and Incentives
Travis Kelce signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs reportedly worth up to $54.735 million, with $12 million guaranteed upfront for 2026 and no fixed guarantees for 2027–28 beyond minimum salaries of $1.345 million (2027) and $1.39 million (2028). A $40 million 2028 “Poison Pill” could be voided after June 2027 to help with cap moves, and incentives could add up to $3 million (up to $2 million for playing time and $1 million for a Super Bowl appearance), making the deal’s true value contingent on future negotiations.
