Travis Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is appreciative of his fellow 49ers TE saying he deserves more money, but has more than that on his mind.

For others it’s the rings and while they’re not willing to play for free, they are willing to take a little bit less to play for a contender and/or allow some of that cap money to be used on others. Kelce was asked about Kittle’s comments and while he’s appreciative of Kittle’s perspective of the situation, he had his reasons to make what he makes. The top tight ends are essentially receivers at this point while at the same time they have the responsibility to be on the offensive line to be an extra blocker when called upon.

Over the past few months, the bar for top wide receiver salaries was raised substantially. Former Chiefs star Tyreek Hill, now with the Miami Dolphins, tops the ...

Kelce, who entered the NFL in 2013, is a three-time All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowl selection. So he’s a player I look at, like, when he gets the ball in his hands, he’s a monster.” It’s a good point about tight ends playing catch-up to wide receivers in salary. “I mean, to me, Travis Kelce, he’s been doing it for so long and at such a high level. Over the past few months, the bar for top wide receiver salaries was raised substantially. “Travis Kelce, six seasons in a row, 1,000 yards,” Kittle said.

Entering his tenth season with the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce has proven to be one of the greatest tight ends of all time. Can he keep it up?

Gronk’s early career glory made it seem as if he was destined to always be greater than Kelce, but like the story of the tortoise and the hare, it’s been the steady and healthy career that has ultimately put Kelce above Gronk in many categories. It almost seems like a no-brainer to pencil Kelce in for his regularly scheduled 1000-yard season in 2022. Kelce has been so good for years that the lack of a solid TE2 has often been overlooked.

Last week, 49ers tight end George Kittle said Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is so underpaid it "boggles his mind." “I mean Travis Kelce, six seasons in a ...

Since entering the league in 2013, Kelce has 704 catches for 9,006 yards and 57 touchdowns. “I mean Travis Kelce, six seasons in a row, 1000 yards,” Kittle said, via ProFootballTalk. “I’m pretty sure he has the most receiving yards over any wide receiver, skill position in the last six years. He appreciates Kittle's support, but his focus right now isn't on earning the most money.

The three-time All-Pro tight end has enjoyed a tremendous career to date. And Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce certainly has his priorities.

And obviously, Kelce hopes to play a major role in improving those latter numbers when it comes to his team. “I appreciate Kittle saying that,” explained the nine-year NFL veteran (via Michael David Smith of PFT). “That’s my guy and he always wants to see every tight end get paid as much as their production is. And he has a big fan in San Francisco 49ers’ tight end George Kittle, who recently sang his praises on Pro Football Talk PM. The Chiefs own the longest current playoff streak in the NFL at seven consecutive seasons. And the 1,000-yard streak began two seasons before Patrick Mahomes became the starting quarterback. In 2013, the Kansas City hired Andy Reid as their head coach.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end addresses comments made by San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle in which he called Kelce underpaid.

. . . More tight ends and more tight ends are starting to get the ball more, starting to be more part of the offense, be more explosive. The team’s last set of OTAs will be from June 7 to 10. that’s won a Super Bowl or been to the Super Bowl for like the last five years has had an All-Pro tight end a part of the team,” Kittle said. “I feel a tight end’s not just like a cog in the wheel, it’s an important position that can really add to your offense or diminish it.” “I mean Travis Kelce, six seasons in a row, 1000 yards,” Kittle said, as transcribed by PFT. “I’m pretty sure he has the most receiving yards over any wide receiver, skill position in the last six years. Kelce, 32, signed a four-year, $57.25 million contract extension with the Chiefs in 2020.

49ers tight end George Kittle still can't believe that Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is not being paid like some of the best wideouts in the NFL.

After all, as more tight ends play an important role in offenses like he said, the sooner their value will also increase. “I mean Travis Kelce, six seasons in a row, 1000 yards,” Kittle said, perPro Football Talk. “I’m pretty sure he has the most receiving yards over any wide receiver, skill position in the last six years. In comparison, tight ends are not making much, with Kelce set to make only around $7.5 million in 2022.

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is excited to see Jody Fortson — one of the hardest workers he knows — back on the football field.

He also seems to have a role as an energy-giver for other players within the offense. Fortson has been working hard to get back on the field and back to form. Andy Reid had previously mentioned there was a chance they’d get Fortson back for Phase 3 of the offseason program.

In mid-March, the Kansas City Chiefs extended a qualifying contract offer to Exclusive Rights Free Agent (ERFA) TE Jody Fortson. On Thursday, Fortson ...

Not only do we have 100 plays that we’re able to just game plan and pick and choose which weapons we want to use against opponents in the future, but also taking advantage of opportunities like this where we get to play against our offense — which is undoubtedly one of the most firepower, stacked offenses in the league. “All the resources in the world you could ever ask for. As one of the only veteran players, Reid will be counted on to be a leader in the secondary, even though he is new to the team. “The culture here is phenomenal,” he observed. Thomas, 29, missed the entire 2021 season with the ankle injury after he delayed his first surgery to repair multiple ligaments until June — then suffered a setback in November that required a follow-up procedure. “Just by standard procedure, we will only talk about the people that are on our team,” McDaniels said. Statistically speaking, Kelce has dominated the tight end ranks over the course of the last four seasons with Mahomes. He has registered at least 134 targets, 92 receptions, 1,125 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns each year over the course of those last four seasons. You want guys competing every single day to make the roster because they’re going to help us in the end.’’ The Chiefs have a similar profile to previous years, despite the departure ofTyreek Hill. Their defense should be good enough, not great. With Tyreek Hill being traded out of Kansas City, the Chiefs suddenly have a gaping hole among their pass catching group. “That’s what you’re going to see with this offense this year,’’ Mahomes said Thursday. “It’s going to be everybody. If an ERFA is tendered a qualifying contract offer by their team prior to free agency, they can’t refuse said offer to become an unrestricted free agent.
