Kansas City Chiefs 'make Andy Reid the NFL's highest-paid head coach' on a yet-to-be-revealed deal that reportedly runs through 2029

Coming off his third Super Bowl victory, the Kansas City Chiefs' Andy Reid is now reportedly the NFL's highest-paid coach.

Details of the deal have not been publicized, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero is reporting that Reid is now the league's top-paid coach on a new deal that runs through the 2029 season.

Chiefs spokesmen did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for further details.  

Now-former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick was reportedly the NFL's highest-paid coach in 2023 at $20 million, although pay at the position average closer to $6 million a year. 

There had been unsubstantiated reports that the 65-year-old coach might call it quits after the Super Bowl, although Reid continually clapped back at such talk in the run-up to the big game.

'To win one is tough. To win two, back to back, is really tough,' Reid told reporters in Kansas City following his Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers. 'That's not an easy thing to do, and to know the effort the guys put into it, the way they stuck together through the highs and lows ... that's gratifying as a head coach.'

The only downside to making Super Bowl runs deep into February, which the Chiefs have done four of the last five years — with three victory parades to show for them — is that it soaks up any opportunity for coaches and staff to catch their breath.

No matters what happens, Reid has secured his spot among the greatest coaches ever. His three Super Bowl titles trail only Bill Belichick's six with New England and Chuck Noll's four with the 1970s Steelers.

Reid is even with San Francisco's Bill Walsh and Washington's Joe Gibbs. Walsh was known for his innovative West Coast offense, and Gibbs is the only coach to claim three championships with three different starting quarterbacks.

Reid has shown an ability to adapt his offense around his personnel and maximize its potential, but his success will especially be linked to quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Before Mahomes arrived, questions dogged Reid about whether he could win it all.

In 14 years in Philadelphia, he went 224-130 and led the Eagles to one Super Bowl appearance and four consecutive NFC championship games.

But no ring.

The questions have since gone from whether Reid can win it all to where he sits among the NFL's greatest coaches.

'I believe he's the best coach of all time,' Mahomes said. 'I know he didn't have the trophies (before Kansas City) and I have a lot of respect for some of those great coaches. But the way he's able to navigate every single team he has, continue to have success no matter where he's at.

'He brings out the best of me because he lets me be me. I think that's important. He doesn't try to make me anyone else. I don't think I'd be the quarterback that I am if I didn't have Coach Reid being my head coach.'

Reid is planning on sticking around as Mahomes' coach for at least one more season, even if at nearly 66, he could head into retirement after yet another Vince Lombardi Trophy and with his legacy secured.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Reid is one of the coaches he relies on for 'perspective from a team standpoint.'

'Coach Reid has been a leader on all levels, not just the football field,' Goodell said. 'His leadership shows in everything he does. ... There's no better coach than Coach Reid.'
