Reports: Chiefs sign TE Noah Gray to 3-year contract extension

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Kansas City Chiefs signed tight end Noah Gray to a three-year contract extension on Thursday, according to multiple media reports.

Contract terms were a value of $19.5 million including a $6 million signing bonus and $10 million guaranteed at signing, according to the NFL Network. ESPN, meanwhile, reported the deal was worth $18 million, including $10.1 million guaranteed.

Kansas City opened the regular season at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

Gray, 25, played in all 17 regular-season games and made a career-high 10 starts in the Chiefs’ two-tight end sets along with All-Pro Travis Kelce. Gray caught 28 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns to tie or set his career highs for a single season.

He played on 52 percent of the offensive snaps (592) and on special teams (219).

The Chiefs selected Gray in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Duke. He has totaled 63 receptions for 640 yards and four touchdowns in 50 career games (19 starts).

Chiefs TE Travis Kelce hyperextends knee in practice

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Travis Kelce hyperextended his knee during Tuesday’s practice, leaving coach Andy Reid to label the star tight end’s availability as uncertain for the Kansas City Chiefs’ season opener in two days.

“They’re looking at it now,” Reid said. “We’ll just see how it goes.”

Noah Gray likely would get the nod at tight end if Kelce is unable to play against the visiting Detroit Lions on Thursday. Gray, 24, had 28 catches for 299 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (eight starts) last season.

Kelce, 33, recorded career-best totals in catches (110) and touchdowns (12) to go along with a team-leading 1,338 receiving yards in 17 games last season.

A four-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl selection, Kelce has totaled 814 catches for 10,344 yards and 69 touchdowns in 144 career games (137 starts) with the Chiefs.
