Andy Reid has become one of the winningest head coaches in NFL history. He began his coaching career with the Green Bay Packers in 1992 before joining the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999. Reid gained widespread recognition during his tenure as head coach of the Eagles, leading the team to multiple playoff appearances and a Super Bowl.
However, he solidified himself as one of the greatest coaches of all time with his dynastic run as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. Reid has led Patrick Mahomes and Co. to three Super Bowl victories and counting. The organization rewarded Reid by making him the highest-paid coach in the NFL. With that in mind, what is Reid’s salary and net worth?
Andy Reid’s Salary and Contract
With the Chiefs trying to make history as the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, owner Clark Hunt was going to do whatever it took to keep Reid around.
Kansas City ultimately signed Reid to a five-year, $100 million contract extension that will keep him in town through the 2029 Super Bowl.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Clark and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise,” Reid said in a statement. “Over the last 11 years, Tammy and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home. The community has embraced us, we’ve watched our family grow, including having all 12 grandkids during our time here.
“On the field, there have been so many people that have contributed to our success and Super Bowls, and I’m grateful to the players, coaches and staff that have all invested their time into this process. I’d also like to thank my agent, Bob LaMonte. Chiefs Kingdom is a special place and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be here.”
Coaching salaries are not public information, unlike player contracts. However, the details of Reid’s contract leaked to the media.
Reid currently has the fourth-most wins of any head coach in NFL history, so it’ll be interesting to see how high he can climb on the all-time list if he continues coaching for several more years.
What Is Andy Reid’s Current Net Worth?
This is the third consecutive five-year extension that Reid has signed with Kansas City. In 2017, he inked a five-year extension worth over $40 million, and he also agreed to a five-year deal in 2020.
Kansas City has repeatedly tacked on several more years long before his deal is up, which is smart considering Reid is widely regarded as the best head coach in the NFL.
With his Super Bowl victories and the attention that has come from Taylor Swift dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Reid has become a household name.

In addition to his NFL contracts, he has endorsement deals with companies such as State Farm, Pepsi, Coors Light, Snickers, and Korn Ferry.
Factoring in his recent extension with the Chiefs and his numerous endorsement deals, Reid’s net worth is believed to be in the $50 million range.
This makes him one of the wealthiest coaches in NFL history and just slightly behind Bill Belichick ($70 million).
Look Into Reid’s Tenure
Reid has an impressive résumé as a coach. He was hired as the quarterbacks coach by the Green Bay Packers in 1992. Brett Favre arrived there that year from the Atlanta Falcons. With Reid on the staff coaching up Favre, the Packers would win Super Bowl XXXI in 1996.
Then, Reid became the Eagles’ head coach in 1999, leading Philadelphia to five NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl appearance.

Philly also won four straight NFC East titles from 2001 through 2004. Reid was credited with developing Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. Despite his .609 winning percentage, the Eagles parted ways with Reid in 2012 after the team went 4-12.
The Chiefs were happy to scoop up Reid in 2013, and the rest is history. He has the best winning percentage of any coach in franchise history, and the team has won nine straight division titles while racking up six consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances, four Super Bowl appearances, and three Super Bowl victories.
Chiefs-Texans Game Preview

Now, Reid is trying to lead the Chiefs past the Houston Texans for Kanas City’s seventh consecutive trip to the AFC Championship Game.
In Week 16, the Chiefs defeated the Texans 27-19. Patrick Mahomes registered his fifth-best QB+ score of the season. As for C.J. Stroud, his QB+ score was his best of the final five weeks of the regular season.
The Chiefs’ OFF+ score was their sixth-best of the season against Houston. Their highest OFF+ score (83.0) came in Week 17 against the Steelers, the last time key Chiefs offensive starters played. Also, the Chiefs recorded four of their seven best DEF+ scores from Week 13 onward, including the Week 16 game against the Texans. As for Houston, the Texans’ DEF+ score was their third-worst of the season against KC.
Will Kansas City Show Signs of Rust?
Many of the Chiefs’ top players will have three-plus weeks off between games. Does such a long layoff have any impact?
Over the past 20 seasons, nine teams have rested their starting quarterback for their regular-season finale before enjoying a Wild Card round bye. Most of these teams also rested several other key starters. Those nine teams posted a 5-4 record in their Divisional Round games. That win percentage (.556) is significantly lower than the overall win percentage of home teams in the Divisional Round during that span (.658).
However, it’s important to note the small sample size and recent trends. The last three teams to follow this strategy have all won, including the Chiefs in 2020. The last team to lose after two weeks of rest was the 2019 Ravens, who fell to the sixth-seeded Titans.
Will Texans Switch Up Their Coverage on Mahomes?
Houston deployed a different coverage strategy in their Week 16 matchup against the Chiefs. The Texans used Cover 1 on 40% of defensive plays, their highest rate in any game with DeMeco Ryans (regular season or playoffs). For perspective, Houston has played Cover 1 on only 19.5% of its plays against all other opponents in 2024.
Mahomes took full advantage of that coverage decision. He went 11/17 for 147 yards (8.6 yards per attempt) against Houston’s Cover 1, marking his highest passing yardage against that coverage in a single game all season. During the regular season, Mahomes ranked fourth in success rate (54%) against Cover 1.
The good news for the Texans is that they have an effective alternative. Quarters was Houston’s second-most common coverage during the regular season (17.4%). However, they deployed Quarters just twice in Week 16.
Mahomes struggled against Quarters this season, ranking 26th in EPA per play (-0.06) and 30th in success rate (42.7%) — his lowest success rate against any coverage during the regular season.
Per Pro Football Network’s Playoff Predictor, with 10,000 simulations, the Texans are an underdog and given just a 29.9% chance of winning against the Chiefs.
