Kansas City Chiefs announce contract extensions for Andy Reid, Brett Veach

The Chiefs announced a series of shiny new contract extensions to keep Brett Veach, Andy Reid, and Mark Donovan around for years to come.

You can stop asking about potential retirement now for Andy Reid. The truth is that no one in leadership with the Kansas City Chiefs is going anywhere after the team announced a trio of new contract extensions with head coach Andy Reid, general manager Brett Veach, and team president Mark Donovan on Monday.

Throughout the offseason, Reid has endured several questions about his future and how much longer he plans to coach and he's continually responded with how much passion he still has for the game. Now perhaps those concerns can be put to rest for the foreseeable future.

The contract extensions are a much-deserved reward for guiding the Chiefs into one of the most successful eras in NFL history—for any franchise. The Chiefs are preparing to start this coming season as the favorites once again with hopes of achieving the first-ever three-peat champion in league history.

Both Veach and Reid needed new extensions as their previous deals were expiring. The duo last signed extensions with the team in November, 2020, and somehow they've achieved even greater success since their last contracts were completed.

Veach took over the general manager role after John Dorsey's contract was not renewed back in 2017 and his aggressive nature in free agency and growing savvy in the draft has given the Chiefs a solid roster top to bottom that can withstand the rigors of a long NFL season. Keeping him in charge of the front office will ensure that healthy communication between personnel execs and coaches will remain central to the organization.

As for Big Red, he's been everything this Chiefs franchise has needed since he first arrived back in 2013 as a replacement for Romeo Crennel. He's got a regular season record of 128-51 with the Chiefs with three Super Bowl rings to his credit and a chance for a fourth in 2024. He's already an all-time great in the NFL and could go down as one of the best two or three head coaches to ever stand on the sidelines.
