Kelce Bros. Score $100M Podcast Deal, Proving Retirement’s Got Perks

Jason and Travis Kelce just scored big off the field! The superstar brothers have signed a massive $100 million deal with Amazon’s Wondery for their hit podcast, "New Heights," according to Variety. The three-year deal gives Wondery exclusive ad-sales and distribution rights, taking the Kelce brothers’ banter to new heights. While Travis gears up for the NFL season with the Chiefs, fans can expect their weekly dose of Kelce magic to continue every Wednesday. The Kelce legacy just keeps getting stronger—on and off the field!
