Chiefs agree to contract extensions with head coach Andy Reid, GM Brett Veach, president Mark Donovan

Kansas City is maintaining the Super Bowl-winning team for an extended period.

On Monday evening, the Chiefs announced that head coach Andy Reid, general manager Brett Veach, and team president Mark Donovan have been granted contract extensions.

NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported that Reid’s latest contract extends through 2029, making him the highest-paid coach in the NFL. Pelissero also reported that Veach’s contract has been extended through 2029.

“I’m incredibly grateful to (chairman and CEO) Clark (Hunt) and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise,” Reid said in a statement released by the team. “Over the last 11 years, Tammy and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home. The community has embraced us, we’ve watched our family grow, including having all 12 grandkids during our time here. On the field, there have been so many people that have contributed to our success and Super Bowls, and I’m grateful to the players, coaches and staff that have all invested their time into 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.”

The trio, who have been together since 2017, have contributed to transforming the Chiefs into a team that has won the Super Bowl three times during this period.

Besides the Lombardis in the Chiefs’ trophy collection, the team has achieved a 100-34 record under the leadership of Reid, Veach, and Donovan in both regular and postseason games. This impressive record includes seven consecutive AFC West division titles, four AFC Championship Game victories, and an extraordinary streak of six straight AFC title game appearances.

“We are ecstatic that Mark, Brett, and Andy will continue their roles for many more years, given their historic success together,” said Hunt in a statement. “Each one of them individually represents the cream of the crop in the National Football League in their respective positions. Collectively, they form one of the most outstanding leadership teams across all professional sports. Their exceptional leadership on and off the field for this organization has been commendable, and we eagerly anticipate their continued success in the future.”

The Chiefs are coming off their latest Super Bowl triumph, an overtime win against the San Francisco 49ers.

Prior to the biggest of big games, Reid, 66, was inundated with questions about potentially retiring. He said consistently before and after the game that he was staying put, and now Big Red is locked up through his age-71 season.

Reid, who holds the all-time record for wins with the Philadelphia Eagles at 130, joined the Chiefs in 2013 and experienced immediate success.

In his debut season with Kansas City Chiefs, Reid led the team to an 11-5 record. Since then, the team has had a successful season every year under Reid’s leadership, only missing the playoffs once. Heading into 2024, he has become the franchise’s leader in all-time wins, boasting an impressive 128-51 record.

An offensive mastermind whose marriage with quarterback Patrick Mahomes will go down as one of the greatest HC-QB combinations in NFL lore, Reid is one of five coaches in league history to win at least three Super Bowls and his 284 career wins (including postseason) are fourth all time.

Veach started his NFL career as a coaching intern for Reid’s Eagles in 2004. He took on the role of Chiefs’ general manager in 2017 and has since been instrumental in building the league’s most successful roster.

Donovan has had the longest tenure with the Chiefs, having joined the franchise in 2009 as chief operation officer at the age of 58. He was promoted to team president two years later.

After achieving Super Bowl LVIII glory in Las Vegas, the Chiefs became the seventh NFL franchise to win four Super Bowls. Three of those victories came with Donovan, Reid and Veach at the helm.

The Chiefs have established a dynasty, and Hunt has ensured that its architects will not be leaving anytime soon.
