There has been a lot of speculation that Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid could retire after Super Bowl LVIII. But based on one recent report, it sounds like the most likely scenario is actually the opposite – he is expected to sign a contract extension.
According to a report from Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, Andy Reid is set to receive a contract extension from the Kansas City Chiefs regardless of the outcome of Super Bowl LVIII and it’s “more likely” that Reid signs a contract extension than retires from coaching.
“Sources tell CBS Sports an extension is more likely than retirement heading into Reid’s fifth Super Bowl appearance. Reid, one of the winningest coaches of all time, is in line to get a raise almost no matter the outcome of Sunday night’s game. He signed a six-year extension after his first Super Bowl victory four years ago, and he has two years left on his current deal,” Jones reported for CBS Sports on Sunday.
As Jones points out, Reid is radically underpaid compared to what he has produced making just $12 million per year – which ranks around 10th in the league among all head coaches – even though he is the only active NFL head coach with multiple Super Bowl wins.
