A standard practice after a Super Bowl-winning season across all NFL teams is handing out contract extensions to the managers and head coaches. Hence, it was unusual when\u00a0Patrick Mahomes\u00a0led Kansas City Chiefs failed to extend the contracts of GM Brett Veach and HC Andy Reid. The duo last signed extensions after their first Super Bowl win in this cycle in 2019. Since then, despite winning the Super Bowl last season, the duo have strangely been underpaid without extensions. However, it has all changed today.<\/p>\n

Over the last few years, one of the concerns around the 65 year old Chiefs HC Andy Reid has been him nearing retirement. Many expected Coach Reid to hang up his boots after the Super Bowl win this season. But his latest confirmation that he is geared up for the three peat has put those concerns to rest. Hence, NFL Insider Tom Pelissero in his\u00a0latest report has confirmed\u00a0that the Chiefs are extending Reid and Veach\u2019s contract. The report was verified by the KC Chiefs where they revealed that Reid\u2019s new deal will be till 2029 and the fiscal compensation makes him the highest paid coach in the NFL.<\/p>\n
While salary and contracts of NFL support staff members are usually not revealed, it\u2019s reported that elite NFL coaches generally earn around $15 million. Coaches are also not paid highly with the current highest paying coach being Sean Payton who earns a\u00a0reported $18 million. With reports stating that Reid has been awarded the highest salary, it\u2019s safe to assume that he will be earning more than $18 million a year with the Chiefs.<\/p>\n
Coach Reid\u2019s extension till 2029 is also near the time frame of Patrick Mahomes\u2019 contract. However, the fiscal aspects of the contracts are super different yet alike. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n
