Call him 'Cash' Kelce ... 💰💰💰💰💰
The Eagles and Kelce agreed to a one-year deal worth $14 million in 2022, a league source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport had the news first.
This makes Kelce the highest-paid center in the NFL as his deal surpasses the $13.5 million APY multi-year deal the Lions gave to Frank Ragnow. Kelce, 34, will get paid a lot in 2022, but he’s worth it. While he’s entering his 12th NFL season, he’s coming off his fourth All-Pro season and still has a strong claim as the best center in the NFL. And there’s no overstating what he means to the Eagles as they enter Year 2 with Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts running the show.
We’ll find out soon about the structure of this contract but it is overwhelmingly likely the Eagles added voidable years and handed out a healthy bonus to limit the salary cap hit for Kelce this upcoming season. That has been a popular move for the Eagles in recent seasons and this is an obvious time to use that trick.
