The Kansas City Chiefs are serious about running it back for a Super Bowl three-peat and beyond. On Monday, April 22, the Chiefs announced they agreed to an extension with head coach Andy Reid, president Mark Donovan, and general manager Brett Veach.
While the exact details of the extensions were not immediately revealed, Reid is in line for a massive payday. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero posted, “Chiefs chairman and CEO Clark Hunt told Andy Reid he wanted to make him the NFL’s highest-paid coach, and now he is, on a deal that runs through 2029, per sources.”
“Yessir 💪🏽💪🏽,” Mahomes posted on X.
Reid’s extension successfully shut down those retirement rumors that swirled before the Chiefs won back-to-back Super Bowls. Big Red revealed on The Rich Eisen Show on March 7 that he’ll “just know” when it’s time to call it quits, which obviously isn’t any time soon.
The last time Reid signed an extension was in 2020, after winning his first Super Bowl with the Chiefs. Reid earned $11.5 million annually, Sportico reported in November, making him the eighth-highest coach in the NFL. The No. 1 spot was held by Bill Belichick, who earned $25 million a year.
With Belichick gone, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton was the highest-paid coach, raking in $18 million annually. So if Reid is now the highest-paid coach in the NFL, he’s earning a salary over $18 million a year. Reid will be 71 years old when his deal expires while Mahomes will be 34.
