Jason and Travis Kelce started a side project to go along with their actual careers as professional football players just a few years ago.
That side hustle has turned into a media empire as the brothers signed a three-year, $100+ million deal with Wondery+ for their podcast, “New Heights.” Jason’s wife, Kylie, even kicked off her own podcast that topped the charts before the first episode hit the air.
The former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman wasn’t satisfied with a megahit podcast after retirement, though. He landed a contract with ESPN after being one of the most sought after personalities in the media space.
With ESPN, Kelce has made appearances on “Monday Night Football” and hosts his own late night show, “They Call it Late Night with Jason Kelce.” All of the work the future Hall of Fame offensive lineman has put in with the Worldwide Leader seems to be paying off quite handsomely.
In a new report dropped before the Super Bowl, media insider Andrew Marchand revealed Kelce signed a three, year $8 million deal with the network. “Last year, Jason Kelce was taking meetings with all the networks.
He had offers from nearly every major network, before going with the highest known bidder in ESPN on a three-year, $24 million contract, according to sources briefed on the deal,” Marchand reported.
Money might not be everything, but Kelce has done an incredible job setting up his family for future success. During his Eagles career, the star offensive lineman made over $81 million, combined with the success of his podcast and ESPN deal…the Kelce family is living well.
