The Kansas City Chiefs star tight end was blunt when discussing his contract in a recent profile in Vanity Fair.

He said he has been pressed by people close to him to ask for a raise, but he’s fine with his current deal due to the Chiefs’ success.

“My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am,” Kelce told Vanity Fair. “Any time I talk about wanting more money, they’re just like, ‘Why don’t you go to the Chiefs and ask them?’”

Under his current contract, Kelce has an average annual salary of roughly $14.3 million.

This upcoming season, his $11.25 million base salary will rank as the 54th-highest in the NFL, according to Vanity Fair.
