    Travis Kelce was already having an amazing 2024 ... he won Super Bowl LVIII, he's dating the biggest star in the world, and now he's getting a new, fat contract extension -- making him the richest tight end in the NFL!

    The 34-year-old perennial Pro Bowler agreed to a two-year extension on Monday ... and even though the amount hasn't been disclosed, reports say it's enough to make him the highest-paid TE in the league.

    Of course, it's well deserved. Kelce is arguably the best tight end in the NFL -- and one of the greatest ever -- already racking up 74 receiving touchdowns and 11,328 yards since being drafted in 2013 (3rd round pick).

    The 11-thousand-plus yards, despite the fact he's still playing, is the most ever by a tight end.

    Kelce -- who has already made just over $77 million in NFL earnings -- has won three Super Bowls with Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid .

    "I told yall I’ll never let him leave!!" Mahomes said after the news broke of his record-breaking extension. "Congrats my guy!"

    The news comes on the heels of Kelce, Swift , and the Mahomes' hangin' in Las Vegas over the weekend ... where they hit up Patrick's charity gala, and then partied at XS.
