AP Source: Chiefs Sign TE Kelce to $46 Million, 5-Year Deal

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Kelce spent Friday morning in Hawaii getting ready for his first Pro Bowl, shortly after signing a $46 million, five-year extension that made him one of the NFL's highest-paid tight ends.

Oh, and he's about to star in a reality dating show.

"I'm living the dream," Kelce said. "Literally."

Never has a cliché been more appropriate.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed their burgeoning young pass catcher to a deal that includes $20.5 million in guarantees, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs did not reveal terms of the agreement

"He's a talented football player that has become an important piece to what we do offensively," general manager John Dorsey said in a statement.
