NFLAndy Reid signs extension with Kansas City Chiefs through 2029
NFLTom Brady: Mahomes is on track to make his own history
In a move signaling a long-term commitment to their winning formula, the Kansas City Chiefs have solidified their leadership by extending contracts for head coach Andy Reid, president Mark Donovan, and general manager Brett Veach. The announcement, made on Monday, April 22, underscores the franchise’s determination to sustain its Super Bowl success and build a dynasty.

While the specifics of the extensions remain undisclosed, it’s evident that Reid is in for a substantial increase in earnings. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt expressed his desire to make Reid the highest-paid coach in the NFL – a promise that has been fulfilled. Reid’s contract now stretches through 2029, cementing his status as a cornerstone of the organization’s future.The news elicited immediate excitement from star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who took to social media to express his support with a resounding “Yessir .”

Reid’s extension puts to rest any speculation about retirement following the Chiefs’ consecutive Super Bowl victories. Addressing rumors on The Rich Eisen Show earlier this year, Reid made it clear that retirement isn’t on the horizon anytime soon, stating that he will “just know” when the time is right to step away.

This latest extension comes on the heels of Reid’s previous contract renewal in 2020, following the team’s first Super Bowl win under his leadership. At that time, Reid was earning $11.5 million annually, placing him among the top coaches in the league. With the departure of Bill Belichick, who held the top spot with a $25 million salary, Reid’s new deal positions him as the highest-paid coach in the NFL, likely earning over $18 million per year.
