Travis Kelce just sacked a massive salary. 

Shortly after the Kansas City Chiefs tight end solidified a new two-year NFL contract on April 29, his agent revealed exactly how much money he will be raking in. 

Travis—who was originally set to earn $30.25 million over the next two years with $0 guaranteed—will be paid $34.25 million across the next two seasons, according to Sportrac. He’ll reportedly receive $17 million of that amount immediately.

“Just confirmed with the agent that Travis Kelce’s contract is not an extension through 2027,” co-founder Michael Ginnitti explained in an April 29 post on X (formerly known as Twitter), “but rather a renegotiated 2-year contract that replaces the final two seasons of his previous deal in KC.”

And that’s not the only exciting part about Travis’ deal. According to Sportrac, the NFL star also set the record for the highest AAV (Average Annual Value) of any tight-end in the league’s history, proving that his girlfriend Taylor Swift wasn’t the only one making historic moves this month. 

“The language put in the bill is, in my opinion, is to try to prevent state entities, state employees, from promoting the use of different pronouns and, if you will, the search for gender change,” Republican state Rep. John Eplee, a northeastern Kansas family physician.

For Kansas State basketball, the transfer portal is turning into a merry-go-round.

After adding two players — former Villanova guard Brendan Hausen and Arkansas big man Baye Fall — over the weekend, the Wildcats lost another one Sunday when point guard Dai Dai Amens tossed his name in the portal.

Ames, a 6-foot-1 freshman from Chicago, started 16 games, including the last 13 of the 2023-24 season. He averaged 5.2 points, 2.0 assists and 1.1 rebounds while shooting 35.3%, including 32.9% from 3-point range.

Ames becomes the sixth Wildcat player to enter the portal. He joins starting guard Cam Carter, who has since signed with LSU, and starting center Jerrell Colbert, along with super-senior guard Ques Glover, sophomore guard Dorian Finister and freshman guard R.J. Jones.

Ames was expected to be a key player for the Wildcats next year after a strong finish to his freshman season. He scored in double figures two of the last three games, including a career-high 16 points with five assists in a season-ending National Invitation Tournament loss to Iowa.

Kansas State basketball adds sharpshooting Villanova guard from transfer portal

Kansas State basketball is headed to the Big Apple in December for Big 12/Big East battle

K-State finished with a 19-15 record and a first-round NIT loss in Jerome Tang’s second season as head coach after he led them to the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight the year before. He already has signed four players from the portal, plus a four-star high school recruit, but has at least four scholarships left to give.

K-State’s top portal addition so far is former Michigan point guard Dug McDaniel. Tang also has signed shooting guard CJ Jones from Illinois-Chicago along with 3-point specialist Hausen and the 6-foot-11 Fall, a former McDonald’s All American.

Only four players remain from the 2022-23 Wildcats. Senior forward Arthur Kaluma, the third-leading scorer at 14.4 points and top rebounder at 7.0 per game, has declared for the NBA draft but remains eligible to return, while forward David N’Guessan (7.8 points, 6.8 rebounds) has yet to officially announce whether he will be back for a final super-senior season.

The other two still on the team are freshmen reserve forwards Taj Manning and Macaleab Rich.

K-State remains in the hunt for Rutgers center Clifford Omoruyi and Arkansas shooting guard Khalif Battle, both of whom visited Manhattan last week.
