In a significant move for the Kansas City Chiefs organization, Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt announced today the contract extensions of President Mark Donovan, General Manager Brett Veach, and Head Coach Andy Reid. The agreements solidify the Chiefs’ leadership team for the foreseeable future, reflecting the team’s commitment to continuity and sustained success.
“Mark, Brett, and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come,” Hunt expressed. “Individually, Mark, Brett, and Andy each represent the best in the National Football League at their respective positions, and together, they make up one of the finest leadership teams in all of professional sports. They have been tremendous leaders for this organization on and off the field, and we look forward to their continued success in the years ahead.”
Having been together since 2017, Donovan, Veach, and Reid have overseen a remarkable era for the Chiefs, boasting a combined record of 100-34 (.746) in both regular and postseason play. Their tenure has been marked by seven consecutive AFC West Division Championships, four AFC Championships, and three Super Bowl Championships. Notably, the Chiefs have appeared in six consecutive AFC Championship Games, a feat highlighted by hosting an NFL record five-straight from 2018 to 2022.
Beyond the team’s on-field achievements, the Chiefs have witnessed significant growth in their off-field endeavors under the trio’s leadership. This includes the expansion of the club’s social media presence, the cultivation of a national and international fanbase that ranks among the largest and most engaged in professional sports, all while maintaining a focus on enhancing the fan experience at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the organization’s business operations, Donovan remarked, “It is a privilege to help lead this organization’s business operations, and I want to thank Clark and the entire Hunt family for their continued support and trust in the work that we’re doing off-the-field and in the community.”
Veach echoed similar sentiments, stating, “I’d like to thank Clark and the entire Hunt family for the support I’ve received these past seven seasons. I am blessed to work alongside very talented people and am proud of the work we’ve done to bring three Super Bowls to Kansas City.”
Reid, reflecting on his tenure, expressed immense gratitude towards the Chiefs organization and the community of Kansas City. “I’m incredibly grateful to Clark and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise,” Reid remarked. “Over the last 11 years, Tammy and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home.”
Acknowledging the collective effort behind the team’s success, Reid added, “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.”
In conclusion, Reid emphasized the special bond with Chiefs Kingdom, stating, “Chiefs Kingdom is a special place and I’m blessed to have the opportunity to be here.” With the leadership team’s contract extensions secured, the Chiefs look ahead to building upon their storied legacy and pursuing further triumphs on and off the field.
