Travis Kelce admits he thinks about how much more money he could be making if he "pressed the gas" on his contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, but ultimately, winning is more important to him.

"My managers and agents love to tell me how underpaid I am," the tight end said in a wide-ranging interview with Vanity Fair.

Kelce saw Tyreek Hill leave the Chiefs over contract demands last offseason. The wide receiver then signed a four-year, $120 million extension, including $72.2 million guaranteed with the Miami Dolphins.

"When I saw Tyreek go and get 30 [million] a year, in the back of my head, I was like, man, that's two to three times what I'm making right now," Kelce told Vanity Fair. "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."

The Chiefs have won two of the past four Super Bowls.

Kelce, 33, is scheduled to make a base salary of $11.25 million this season, ranked 52nd among NFL players.

"You see how much more money you could be making and, yeah, it hits you in the gut a little bit. It makes you think you're being taken advantage of," Kelce said. "I don't know if I really pressed the gas if I would get what I'm quote-unquote worth. But I know I enjoy coming to that building every single day."
