Former Duke tight end [autotag]Noah Gray[/autotag] signed a three-year extension with the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Gray is entering his fourth NFL season, all of them with Kansas City, and he and the Chiefs have won each of the past two Super Bowl titles. No team in league history has ever won three consecutive championships, something he and quarterback Patrick Mahomes hope to change this year.
Schefter reported that the deal is worth $18 million dollars with more than $10 million fully guaranteed. Gray is now under contract with the Chiefs through the 2027 season.
Through the first three years of his career, Gray caught 63 passes for 640 yards and four touchdowns. He finished with a career-high 305 yards last season, and he’s caught 13 passes for 117 yards in the playoffs.
News of the deal came just four hours before Kansas City’s first game of the season, a home game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Gray becomes the second Blue Devil to sign a three-year extension this week. The New York Jets made Michael Carter II the highest-paid slot cornerback in league history on Tuesday.
