The Kansas City Chiefs signed tight end Noah Gray to a three-year contract extension on Thursday, according to multiple media reports.

Contract terms were a value of $19.5 million including a $6 million signing bonus and $10 million guaranteed at signing, according to the NFL Network. ESPN, meanwhile, reported the deal was worth $18 million, including $10.1 million guaranteed.

Kansas City opened the regular season at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night.

Gray, 25, played in all 17 regular-season games and made a career-high 10 starts in the Chiefs' two-tight end sets along with All-Pro Travis Kelce. Gray caught 28 passes for 305 yards and two touchdowns to tie or set his career highs for a single season.

He played on 52 percent of the offensive snaps (592) and on special teams (219).

The Chiefs selected Gray in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Duke. He has totaled 63 receptions for 640 yards and four touchdowns in 50 career games (19 starts).
