Jared Wiley rookie contract details with Kansas City Chiefs revealed after NFL Draft

Following Jared Wiley‘s No. 131 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs, his rookie contract numbers have been revealed.

According to Spotrac, the former Horned Frogs star will sign a four-year rookie deal worth approximately $4.724 million. As a fourth-round draft pick, Wiley’s rookie deal won’t come with a fifth-year option for the Chiefs, which means unless they extend or re-sign him, he’ll become a free agent after the 2027 season.

Chiefs select TE Jared Wiley in fourth round

Jared Wiley has heard his name called from Detroit in the 2024 NFL Draft, with the Kansas City Chiefs selecting him in the fourth round.

Wiley finished out his college career with the TCU Horned Frogs, playing in Fort Worth for two seasons. A career year occurred in 2023, going for 520 yards and eight touchdowns on 47 receptions. Combined with a good performance at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Wiley shot up draft boards.

Texas was where Wiley committed coming out of high school but he never really got things going. Tom Herman was originally his head coach before playing under Steve Sarkisian for one year. Wiley entered the NCAA transfer portal and landed at TCU ahead of the 2022 season.

From a team perspective, it will be difficult for Wiley to forget the great run the Horned Frogs went on the year he arrived. Making the College Football Playoff and the national championship game was something everybody inside the program will remember forever.

Wiley played high school football at Temple (TX) High School, where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 646 overall recruit in the 2019 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Rankings, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. As On3’s Cody Bellaire points out, the TE played his senior season of high school as a quarterback, making his evaluation tougher.
