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.

Now, Reid is looking to lead the Chiefs past the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game.
In the Super Bowl era, the Bills and Chiefs are the fifth pair of teams to face each other in the playoffs four times within a five-season span. The Chiefs could become the first team to play in the Super Bowl while seeking a Super Bowl three-peat.
The Bills lead the league in turnover margin this season, including the playoffs, at +27. Buffalo has maintained an even or positive turnover margin in 21 consecutive games dating back to last season, tying the 1952-53 Rams for the longest streak since turnovers became an official stat in 1933.
On the other side, the Chiefs have gone eight straight games without a turnover, the longest streak since turnovers became an official stat in 1933.
Josh Allen is one of the league’s best quarterbacks against the blitz. Including the playoffs, he averages the second-highest EPA(Expected Points Added) per dropback (0.30) when blitzed, with 16 passing touchdowns and just two interceptions.
However, the Chiefs excel at blitzing effectively. Including the playoffs, Kansas City blitzes at the ninth-highest rate in the league (30%) and ranks 10th in pressure rate (44%) when sending extra rushers.
The Bills have been one of the league’s best defenses on early downs this season, ranking fifth in EPA per play (0.08) on first and second down. However, their performance drops significantly on third down, where they rank 31st in EPA per play (-0.26) and have allowed the fifth-highest third-down conversion rate (44%).
That’s an ominous sign against a Chiefs offense that thrives on third downs. Kansas City ranks fourth in third down conversion rate (47.9%) and fourth in EPA per play (0.22) on third down. Conversely, they only rank 15th in EPA per play on first and second down (-0.02).
In two playoff games against the Chiefs, Allen has posted QB+ scores of 86.6 (B) in 2021 and 74.8 (C) in 2023. Meanwhile, Mahomes has earned QB+ scores of 86.9 (B) in 2021 and 79.0 (C+) in 2023 in two postseason games against the Bills.
Many fans (and Houston Texans players) were frustrated with the officiating in Kansas City’s Divisional Round win. Since 2018, the Chiefs have received nine roughing-the-passer calls in the playoffs (including the Will Anderson Jr. call on Saturday), while the rest of the NFL combined has totaled 18 such calls, with no other team receiving more than two.
Kansas City has now made seven consecutive Conference Championship appearances — only the New England Patriots had more in a row (eight from 2011-18) in NFL history.
PFN’s Playoff Predictor gives the Bills a 50.7% chance of winning this game while the Chiefs have 49.3% odds, showing just how close this game should be.
