Love Kelce's attitude where he places wins above getting all the money he can to play:
"Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce admits he thinks about how much more money he could be making if he 'pressed the gas' on his contract, but ultimately, winning is more important to him.
In a wide-ranging profile by Vanity Fair, Kelce said, 'My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am.'
'I'm like, the free market looks like fun until you go somewhere, and you don't win. I love winning. I love the situation I'm in.'
"Kelce also could just be following the example set by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who will make a base salary of $5.5 million this season, according to the Roster Management System. The two-time MVP (and two-time Super Bowl MVP) has an average annual salary of $45 million, which ranks seventh among quarterbacks."

It's the old: Find a job that you love and you'll never work a day in your life.
