kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach has spoken highly of tight end Travis Kelce after the partner of Taylor Swift signed a new contract with the Super Bowl winners.Veach was speaking to the local Kansas City press as part of his annual post-draft conference and he was quick to congratulate Kelce on the contract adjustment that has mad him the highest-paid tight end in the sport.”He just signed it here a few minutes ago,” said Veach.

“Hard to put into words what Travis means to this organization, this city, and [it] was certainly a priority to adjust his contact for us, and it was something that was important for Clark [Hunt].”[It’s] very fitting that Travis is now the highest-paid tight end in these two years… just a really special day and moment for this organization to once again recognize arguably one of the greatest tight ends to ever do it.”High praise for Kelce

The Chiefs won their second consecutive Super Bowl last season and Kelce registered 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns, adding 32 catches for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the postseason.Thank you for watching”Every now and then, you have one of these guys who are outliers,” explained Veach of Kelce.”It’s funny. It’s not even May yet, and today, we had the chance to get out there in Phase 2. Guys were out there running around, and Travis was the first guy in line.

He looked like he was 28 years old. The odds of someone [playing] this far into their 30s are very low, but it does happen, and it happens with unicorns in the profession. Travis is one of those.”We’ll certainly celebrate this with him and hopefully, we can ride this thing even longer. We’ll just have to wait and see, but he’s shown no signs of slowing down. Everyone notices the kind of postseason he had. He just found an extra gear. These special players are always able to find that extra gear, and if anybody could do it, Travis can.
