This move makes Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the league, according to reports from NFL Network.<\/p>\n<p>In a video announcement, Kelce expressed his excitement, saying, &#8220;Back at it again baby! Feels good to be in KC. I remember coming here 12 years ago and man, it&#8217;s an honor and a pleasure&#8230; Chiefs forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kelce&#8217;s on-field achievements are matched by his off-field popularity, especially since it became public knowledge last season that he was dating pop superstar Taylor Swift. His presence, along with Swift&#8217;s appearances at games, significantly boosted TV ratings and sales of Chiefs merchandise.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">BREAKING: Chiefs TE Travis Kelce agrees to terms on two-year contract extension.
