Travis and Jason Kelce are reportedly in negotiations to sign a $100 million agreement for their podcast, "New Heights", and are looking to extend their contract.
Travis, Jason Kelce Podcast "New Heights" to Reach New Heights
With Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift, "New Heights" had a spectacular surge during the previous NFL season when his club won the Super Bowl.
In the meanwhile, Jason has experienced a rise in popularity as a result of the program, in part because of his strong relationship with his younger brother.
He played for the Philadelphia Eagles for 13 seasons before announcing his retirement from the NFL on Monday. It's quite likely that he will now pursue a more prominent career in the media, maybe beginning with a hefty new deal for the podcast.
The Kelce brothers may be able to reach a nine-figure agreement to maintain the podcast, according to MarketWatch, a website that provides financial information.

MarketWatch cited Eric Silver, head of development at Multitude, as saying, "Companies want Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast because of the deep relationship they have with their audiences." He added, "That's the most important thing in podcasting. I wouldn't be surprised if it was $100million.'
The brothers chat about their childhood in Cleveland, their personal life (with Travis dating Swift), and the NFL in addition to football. The podcast was launched in September 2022 and new episodes are released every Wednesday.
During the NFL season, a bonus edition with a preview of the weekend games is released every Friday. Their one-hour, fifty-minute show reliving the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory last month has had 3.5 million views, and they have 2.3 million members.
Taylor Swift Effect
There have been 7.5 million views on a guest episode where Jason's wife Kylie discusses Travis's dating life before to going public with Swift.
Jason Kelce himself knows of the impact the singer has had on their podcast. "It has reached a higher level thanks to a lot of different factors, including my brother's love life. But I think it is fun to see people enjoy it and it is fun to see where it is at." He also added that he appreciates the fact that doing this with his brother brings them closer.
With about $81 million in career earnings from his 13 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, 36-year-old Jason Kelce retires from football. As a three-time Super Bowl winner, Travis has earned an estimated $77 million with the Kansas City Chiefs to date.
