ANDY Reid has reportedly been made the NFL's highest-paid head coach.
The legendary play caller led the Kansas City Chiefs to a third Super Bowl triumph in February.
And he has been rewarded with a new contract that keeps him with the team until 2029.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero claims the deal is the richest of any head coach.
Former New York Patriots leader Bill Belichick held the crown last year with a reported $20million annual salary.
But details of 65-year-old Reid's contract have not been published yet.

"I'm incredibly grateful to Clark and the entire Hunt family for giving me the opportunity to lead this historic franchise," Reid told Chiefs.com.
"Over the last 11 years, Tammy and I have enjoyed calling Kansas City our home.
"The community has embraced us, we've watched our family grow, including having all 12 grandkids during our time here.
"On the field, there have been so many people that have contributed to our success and Super Bowls, and I'm grateful to the players, coaches and staff that have all invested their time into this process.

"I'd also like to thank my agent, Bob LaMonte. Chiefs Kingdom is a special place and I'm blessed to have the opportunity to be here."
Reid is only behind Belichick (six) and Chuck Noll (four) in the all-time list for Super Bowl victories.
"I believe he's the best coach of all time,' said Patrick Mahomes after their latest triumph.
"I know he didn't have the trophies (before Kansas City) and I have a lot of respect for some of those great coaches.
"But the way he's able to navigate every single team he has, continue to have success no matter where he's at.
"He brings out the best of me because he lets me be me. I think that's important. He doesn't try to make me anyone else.
"I don't think I'd be the quarterback that I am if I didn't have Coach Reid being my head coach."
