Andy Reid to Change Travis Kelce’s Role as Chiefs Announce New TE Signing After Super Bowl Loss, Per Rumors
The most humble Super Bowl MVP: he earns 250 million a year, but lives in a 2,000 euro rental house.
In the early hours of last Sunday morning, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts won his first Super Bowl.
After being defeated two years ago by Mahomes’ Chiefs, he took his personal revenge in New Orleans. The Eagles steamrolled the Missouri team with a 40-22 final score.
🚨 UPDATE 🚨
The #Chiefs want tight end Travis Kelce to return for one more season. However, he would have to be okay with not being the focal point of the offense and be more of a role player.

Jalen Hurts had an outstanding game: 17 of 22 passes completed, 221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Despite the good numbers, for the American the most important thing was the final victory. “I don’t measure my success in numbers, in statistics, in scores, in yards, but in rings, in championships. I’ve never focused on what someone can do, but on what we do as a team. It’s a journey, we come as a team and enjoy the moment,” he said at the post-game press conference.
His performance against the Chiefs and the Eagles’ final victory led to Hurts being named Super Bowl MVP, an achievement that places him in the annals of history.
A humble MVP
But far from being an ostentatious or haughty MVP, Jalen Hurts remains the same as when he started. This is demonstrated by his actions. The player landed in Philadelphia in 2020. Far from moving into a mansion or a villa, as is usual among American stars, he settled into a small apartment for €2,000 a month, close to the training center.
“I didn’t buy a house or anything like that when I was drafted because I lived by myself. I didn’t need a big place just for me. I rented a small apartment. Something comfortable that will last me for the moment,” he explained at the time. However, after five seasons in the league, and after pocketing a large amount of money, he continues to live in the same house.
The current Super Bowl MVP signed a $255 million contract two years ago for the next five years, becoming at that time the highest-paid player in NFL history. However, he has preferred to spend the money on others. In total, he has acquired four homes, all of them in his home state of Texas. The first one cost him $215,000 and he put it in his father’s name. The second was in his mother’s name. The other two are owned by him and cost around $8 million.
