Andy Reid Extends Contract With KCC Through 2029
Reid will now earn the highest salary of any NFL coach after winning three straight Super Bowls thanks to the agreement.
The iconic head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Andy Reid, has committed to a historic contract extension that will keep him in charge through 2029. Reid’s bold action dispelled rumors that he might retire.
In the wake of his incredible back-to-back Super Bowl victories—his third victory in as many seasons—Reid, at 66, now holds the record for highest-paid head coach in the NFL with his new contract.
Reid thanked the Hunt family and Chiefs owner Clark Hunt for continuing to believe in his abilities as a leader.
“I have loved moving to Kansas City with Tammy for the past eleven years. The love we have received from this community is incredible.”
According to a press statement, Reid said. In addition to being a personal journey, his time in Kansas City was a pivotal period in the team’s history, one that was characterized by both profound ties to the community and on-field success never before seen.
The Chiefs have extended the contracts of General Manager Brett Veach and Team President Mark Donovan as part of a larger plan to bolster a strong leadership group that has significantly improved the team’s performance.
With his extensive coaching background, Reid is regarded as one of the NFL’s greatest coaches, right up there with luminaries like the late Chuck Noll and Bill Belichick. With three Super Bowl victories under his belt, he has joined an elite group of head coaches and cemented his place among the greatest in the history of the sport.
Interestingly, Andy Reid is the first NFL coach to lead two teams to four straight conference titles and the only one to record over 100 victories with two separate clubs.

The three Chiefs’ leaders including Andy Reid sign extensions
Since 2017, the Chiefs have enjoyed a golden age under Veach’s wise leadership, capped off by the clever acquisition of standout quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Under Veach’s leadership, the squad has an incredible 85-30 record and routinely finishes above the 10-win threshold.
Donovan has had a major role in establishing the team’s culture and accomplishments since taking over as president in 2009; he was also crucial in luring Andy Reid and Veach to Kansas City. In addition to a succession of wins and trophies, their group leadership has promoted a culture of excellence and respect among teammates.
Owner Clark Hunt praised the three players’ accomplishments, saying, “Mark, Brett, and Andy are the best NFL leaders.” “Our team has seen a significant transformation as a result of their combined vision and leadership, and we are eager to see what lies ahead under their direction.”
Under Reid’s seasoned direction, the Chiefs appear poised to maintain their supremacy in the NFL with these planned extensions, hoping to win more championships and perhaps even more historic ones.
