Kelce was a no show as the Chiefs offense stalled in a blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
But he recently decided to come back in 2025 for another shot at a Lombardi.
And now he’s pocketed a cool $11.5 million in bonus money ahead of a long off-season.
The sum entered Kelce’s bank account on Friday as an active roster bonus.
He has one year remaining on his current contract with a base salary of $4.5m.
The Chiefs had set March 15 as a deadline for Kelce to make a decision on his future.
Fans speculated the 10-time Pro Bowler would hang up his cleats after Super Bowl heartbreak.
But he has since confirmed he will be back and ready to target another ring in 2025.
“The biggest thing is that I love playing the game of football. I love playing,” Travis told brother Jason on their podcast New Heights.
“I still feel like I can play it at a high level, and possibly at a higher level than I did last year.

“I don’t think it was my best outing.
“I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them.
“I got a bad taste in my mouth on how I ended the year and how well I was playing.”
Earlier this week, Kelce – who is dating pop sensation Taylor Swift – hit the barbers to banish the memory of the 2024 season.

He got a fresh cut and beard trim from celebrity barber Vince Garcia, revealing a drastic new look.
The 35-year-old cut a frustrated figure both on and off the field after the Chiefs fell to defeat in New Orleans.
It ended a disappointing year for the star tight end, who saw his numbers dry up across the board.
Kelce posted a career low 823 receiving yards last season.
He also found the endzone just 3 times as his production faltered under quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
