Champagne problems are the least of Travis Kelce’s concerns.
The Kansas City Chiefs star, 34, signed a $34 million contract extension deal with the NFL on Monday, making him the highest-paid tight end, per NFL reporter Tom Pelissero.
“Kelce now has guaranteed money in 2024, with additional money vesting year-by-year,” Pelissero shared on X. “He’s signed through 2027, when he’ll be 38.”

The “New Heights” podcaster’s latest milestone comes weeks after it was revealed his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was officially named a billionaire.
The “Lover” songstress reached billionaire status after her Eras Tour became the first to exceed $1 billion in revenue, Forbes reported on April 2.
Her success was credited to her “earnings from the blockbuster tour, the value of her music catalog and her real estate portfolio.”
