THE CANADIAN PRESS\/John Woods<\/p>\n<p>By The Canadian Press<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\tOct 26, 2026 | 7:34 AM\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>TORONTO \u2014 Chad Kelly is remaining with the Toronto Argonauts.<\/p>\n<p>According to a CFL source, Kelly and the Argos have agreed to a five-year contract extension. The CFL club has scheduled a news conference to make a \u201cmajor announcement\u201d Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly, 32, is in the final season of the three-year, $1.865-million extension he signed with Toronto during the 2023 campaign that made him the league\u2019s highest-paid player at the time. The extension comes after talks between Kelly and the Argos reportedly were put on hold last month until season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly was slated to become a free agent in the off-season. Financial details weren\u2019t immediately known but Kelly is expected to surpass B.C. Lions quarterback Nathan Rourke (reportedly over $680,000) as the league\u2019s top paid player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toronto Argonauts quarterback Chad Kelly (12) throws against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers during first half CFL football action&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":947627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[437],"tags":[49,48,521,522,520,82],"class_list":["post-947626","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cfl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-canadian-football-league","tag-canadianfootballleague","tag-cfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=947626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/947627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=947626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=947626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=947626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
