Andy Reid, the legendary head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, has once again proven his worth both on and off the field.
With a career filled with championships, Reid‘s new salary has made headlines, placing him as the highest-paid coach in the NFL.
Fans are thrilled for the 66-year-old coach, with many saying his pay is still not enough for what he brings to the table.
According to recent reports from Sportico, Reid now earns an annual salary of $20 million, thanks to a contract extension he signed in April that runs through 2029.
This makes Reid the highest-paid head coach in the NFL. Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt had previously announced that the team intended to make Reid the top-paid coach in the league following Kansas City’s three Super Bowl titles under his leadership.
Fans have been vocal in their support of Reid, with one commenting, “Whatever they paid him, it still isn’t enough.” Another fan added, “Big fella deserves it,” while a third questioned, “You joking, how much is his contract?”
