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.

Looking ahead, Reid will be guiding the team until the age of 71 when his contract expires, while Mahomes, the face of the franchise, will be 34. The synergy between the veteran coach and the young quarterback bodes well for the Chiefs’ continued success on the field.
In a statement expressing gratitude for the opportunity, Reid thanked the Hunt family and the entire Chiefs organization for their support throughout his tenure. He acknowledged the community of Kansas City for embracing him and his family, emphasizing the special bond they’ve formed over the past 11 years. Reid also extended appreciation to the players, coaches, and staff who have contributed to the team’s achievements, highlighting the collective effort behind their Super Bowl triumphs.
As the Chiefs embark on the next chapter of their journey, Reid’s extension serves as a testament to the team’s commitment to excellence and its pursuit of sustained success in the NFL.
