The Kansas City Chiefs fans would not have to fear losing Andy Reid any longer. On Monday, the Chiefs announced that the veteran head coach had agreed to a new contract extension with the franchise.

Besides Reid, both general manager Brett Veach and president Mark Donovan extended their stay at Arrowhead. KMBC first broke the news that Coach Reid had agreed to a contract that would keep him with the team until 2029.

This was later confirmed by NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.

Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt told Andy Reid he wanted to make him the NFL’s highest-paid coach, and now he is, on a deal that runs through 2029, per sources. GM Brett Veach is also under contract through the end of the decade as KC launches its quest for a three-peat.

With these extensions, the Chiefs have made sure that their thinking brains of the past Super Bowl wins stay the same. Now the focus will move on to the player signings.

Social media reacts to the Chiefs making Andy Reid the highest-paid head coach in the NFL

While the Chiefs have yet to release the details of the contract, Sportico last November reported that the 66-year-old earned around $11.5 million annually, making him the eighth-highest-paid coach in the NFL. Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was at No. 1, earning $25 million a year.

If Andy Reid is indeed the new highest-paid coach, then he would most likely earn more than $18 million, which the Denver Broncos are paying Sean Payton. Check out how the netizens reacted to this development:

Later, Coach Reid released a statement through the Chiefs website. 

I'm incredibly grateful to Clark Hunt [CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs] and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise. I'm grateful to the players, coaches, and staff that have all invested their time in this process. I'd also like to thank my agent, Bob LaMonte. Chiefs Kingdom is a special place, and I'm blessed to have the opportunity to be here.
Andy Reid said

Since joining the team back in 2017, he has helped them lift three Lombardi Trophies. Reid-Veach-Donovan has seen the Reds go 100-34 [regular and postseason combined]. In addition to the Super Bowl, the Chiefs have won seven straight AFC West division titles and four AFC Championship Game wins.

Now the opportunity to conquer the three-peat is at hand for Patrick Mahomes and co. All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler that they were ready to create history.

Well, they have to do it without star cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who left earlier this year for the Tennessee Titans. Fortunately, veteran tackle Chris Jones remained along with Mike Danna, and they have added Marquise Brown to the wide receiver spot.
