Travis Kelce is making waves in the podcast world like he does on the football field.

The Kansas City Chiefs star and his brother, Jason Kelce, a television analyst and former NFL standout, on Tuesday announced a “landmark deal” with Amazon-owned podcast network Wondery for their “New Heights” podcast.

The agreement is worth more than $100 million over three years, ESPN reported. It includes exclusive rights to monetize and distribute content, according to Wondery.

“We have a new home, and that is Wondery,” Jason Kelce said in an episode of the podcast released Wednesday.
