"Back at it again baby!" Kelce said in a video.
"Feels good to be in KC, I remember coming here 12 years ago and
man, it's an honor and a pleasure... Chiefs forever."
Kelce's profile rocketed when it was revealed last season he was
dating pop superstar Taylor Swift, whose appearances at games
sent TV ratings and sales of Chiefs merchandise soaring.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated the team locking in the
nine-times Pro Bowl selection and future Hall of Famer into an
extension that will likely see him retire as a Chief.
"I told ya'll I'll never let him leave!!," Mahomes wrote on
social media. "Congrats my guy!"
He had seven consecutive seasons with more than 1,000 receiving
yards, a record for a tight end, and narrowly missed making it
eight straight last season.
Kelce helped Kansas City secure back-to-back Super Bowl titles
and their third in five seasons with February's overtime victory
in Las Vegas.
In 11 NFL seasons, he has caught 907 passes for 11,328 yards and
74 touchdowns.
