Travis Kelce Delivers Verdict on Tom Brady’s $375 Million Payday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is entering his 13th NFL season after briefly contemplating retirement following the team’s Super Bowl LIX loss in February.

The 35-year-old isn’t done yet and hopes to bounce back after posting career lows in receiving yards (823) and touchdowns (three) last season. Despite that, he still earned his 10th Pro Bowl selection.

Speaking of retirement, Tom Brady, arguably the greatest NFL player of all time, hung up his cleats after the 2022-23 season. He’s still around the game, now starring every Sunday on Fox Sports’ NFL broadcast team alongside Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews.

Brady’s contract with Fox Sports is historic. In May 2022, he signed a 10-year, $375 million deal, the largest ever in sports broadcasting.

Kelce appeared on the latest episode of the "Bussin’ With The Boys" podcast and made it clear that Brady’s deal didn’t go unnoticed after admitting he would love to get in the booth, too.

"I want to see what calling a game feels like," Kelce said.

"Oh. Getting in the booth. You saw that Tom Brady paycheck," retired NFL player Taylor Lewan said.

"I mean, everyone saw that one, yeah," Kelce added. "Yeah, it was a [expletive] ton of money. No, I've always, I feel like, impersonated guys that call the games and stuff like that growing up. And I don't know, I thought it would always be fun. Just jump in there."
