The Kansas City Chiefs are solidifying their locker room and front office leadership for the foreseeable future.
The reigning Super Bowl champions announced they had agreed on contract extensions with President Mark Donovan, General Manager Brett Veach, and Head Coach Andy Reid. Financial terms of these deals were not made public.
"Mark, Brett and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come," Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said in an official statement.
Since joining forces in 2017, this trio has collectively transformed what was once a predominantly mediocre franchise.
"Individually, Mark, Brett and Andy each represent the best in the National Football League at their respective positions, and together, they make up one of the finest leadership teams in all of professional sports," Hunt added.
Under their leadership, the Chiefs have made four Super Bowl appearances, emerging victorious in three, including the last two.
The Chiefs aim to be the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
Chiefs make Andy Reid the NFL's highest-paid coach
Hunt told Reid that he wanted him to be the NFL's highest-paid head coach, as reported by league insider Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
According to the latest publicly available data, Reid's salary was the fifth-highest in the league, at $12 million annually, while Sean Payton of the Denver Broncos was the highest-paid coach, at $18 million per year.
Reid's compensation on his new contract remains undisclosed, but his earnings will likely reach around the $20 million threshold given Hunt's promise.
The 66-year-old tactician's new contract in Kansas City runs until 2029.
