After the Super Bowl loss in 2023, the 25-year-old Hurts signed a blockbuster contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. This contract is worth $255 million over 5 years. Further, Lemon Perfect, Gillette, Pepsi, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and Kellogg’s are some brands he has deals with.

On the other hand, Travis Kelce signed a 4-year contract extension in 2020 worth $57.25 million. This secures him an annual salary of $14.3 million until 2026. In addition to his NFL earnings, the TE also makes money from endorsement deals with brands like Nike, Old Spice, and T-Mobile as well as fast food companies McDonald’s and Papa John’s.

His older brother, Jason, was on a one-year contract with the Eagles. The deal amounted to $9 million. Between 2022 and 2023, he had an average annual salary of 14,250,000 dollars, which was the biggest contract of his career. Jason Kelce also had various endorsement deals throughout his career, including Old Spice and 6 Shooter Energy Shots. Even though there’s much disparity between Jason and Travis’s contracts, the duo overtakes Jalen Hurts. And by a significant margin.

As of 2024, brothers Jason and Travis Kelce have a combined net worth of $70 million, while Hurts’ net worth is around $30-35 million. Though Hurts is on a lucrative contract, the time factor plays in favor of the Kelce brothers since their career earnings are much more significant.

These earnings are further increased, with multiple income streams, apart from the salary. Incentives and signing bonuses also play a part.
