Travis Kelce accepts a ‘friendly’ $14m Chiefs contract ‘to keep the team together’, claims ex-teammate Tyreek Hill: ‘He deserves to be paid… he’s the greatest tight end of all time’

While Tyreek Hill had high praises for ex-teammate Travis Kelce, the Dolphins wide receiver insisted that the tight end is not getting paid what he’s worth in Kansas City.

‘I think Kelce like at 14, 15 [million],’ Hill said on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. ‘Nobody’s Travis Kelce. Nobody’s Patrick Mahomes, either. Those two – they’re just different.

‘They’re gonna be the highest-paid. But obviously, they’re gonna take friendly deals ’cause you know… [They want to] keep the team together.’

Hill got drafted by the Chiefs in 2016 and stayed in Kansas City until 2021. After sharing the field with Kelce for the first six seasons of his NFL career, the five-time First-Team All-Pro player insisted that Kelce was the best tight end he played with.

‘Of all time? For sure,’ he said when asked if Kelce is the greatest tight end before retracting and saying: ‘The greatest tight end that I played with, I will say that.’

‘I don’t wanna say nothing else about nobody else’s career. But [from] what I’ve seen and how hard he works in practice, he’s definitely the greatest.’

According to SportRac, Kelce makes a base salary of $12m, placing him behind Mahomes and offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor.
