I doubt it does. There's plenty of money and we haven't used it. Seems its Being saved for extensions.

#Chiefs star Travis Kelce’s contract extension tacks on two years and $34.25 million to the two years remaining on his old deal, per sources.

Kelce now has guaranteed money in 2024, with additional money vesting year-by-year. He’s signed through 2027, when he’ll be 38. pic.twitter.com/MEGSn5lCWm

I was going to say he already had that ticket punched.
[Reply]

I love him but I can’t see him playing till 38.. If we 3peat a bet he might retire.. I will miss the hell out of him when he does..
[Reply]

If we threepeat the very first thing that will happen on the post game stage is he'll grab the mic and promise a fourpeat.

I've heard he can't block and tends to get in his own way...and has hands of stone.

Training Camp fodder?

My understanding is that Travis Kelce signed a two-year contract with the #Chiefs today that was a raise, not an extension.

It's a pretty good structure for that reason (and has some similarities to the way they structured Mahomes's contract). If I'm interpreting it correctly, he'll have new guarantees that kick in each year to protect him in case of injury, but the Chiefs can get out of it in a year or two if needed. The "rolling guarantees" structure seems like the perfect way to give a key player some protection but also ensure the club isn't royally fucked if anything crazy happens.

But he’s such a bad man for bumping into Old man Andy Reid..
Fucking Idiots who make judgments..

That's a pretty critical fuck-up on Rapoport's part if that's the case...
[Reply]

I’m not sure who’s correct? If it is just a raise, he certainly deserves it.
[Reply]

Sounds like it's either 1) void years or 2) years with no guarantees at all (and amounts that haven't been reported)? :-)

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce’s 2-year, $34.25 million extension …

• $17M in 2024, all guaranteed at signing.
• $17.25M in 2025, most of which vests as guaranteed next March.
• Deal runs through 2027.

Highest paid tight end in APY and cash the next two years.

Sweeney is the only one saying it's not an extension, but it seems unlikely that he would be the one who is wrong on this.
[Reply]

Okay apparently Sweeney was talking out of his ass.

I deleted a previous tweet. Travis Kelce's new deal signed with the #Chiefs Monday is more a two-year raise than an extension, as explained in here: https://t.co/y94VmuGMsO

In my opinion, this is probably the greatest indicator we've gotten that these could be the final two…
