Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs are poised to enter negotiations for a contract extension, with Reid expected to claim the title of the NFL’s highest-paid head coach. Following consecutive Super Bowl victories, the Chiefs are set to solidify their leadership structure, with General Manager Brett Veach also in line for a new deal.
Since their Super Bowl LIV triumph in 2020, Reid and Veach have led the Chiefs to two more championships, including their recent Super Bowl LVIII win. Despite speculation about retirement, Reid has affirmed his commitment to pursuing a third consecutive title.
Notably, the delay in finalizing extensions after their Super Bowl victories has been unusual, raising eyebrows across the league. Reid, currently ranked eighth in terms of average annual value among head coaches, is poised for a significant salary increase, aligning him with the league’s top earners. Veach, too, is expected to see an uptick in his compensation.
With recent contract extensions for key coaching staff like Steve Spagnuolo and Dave Toub, attention now turns to Reid and Veach, with negotiations potentially concluding by the Annual League Meeting in March.
