Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs just agreed to a deal worth 10-year, $450 million contract extension with the Chiefs, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Yes, you read that right, $450 million dollars.
The reigning Super Bowl MVP will look to prove his worth next season and the many after that. Hell be in Kansas City until 2031.
In NFL history, there are 37 players who have made over 100 million dollars, but Mahomes towers over the competition. The top 10 prior to the Mahomes deal are listed below:
10. Larry Fitzgerald, WR — $175.0 million
9. Matthew Stafford, QB — $203.8 million
8. Philip Rivers, QB — $218.9 million
7. Matt Ryan, QB — $223.5 million
6. Ben Roethlisberger, QB — $232.3 million
5. Aaron Rodgers, QB — $233.6 million
4. Tom Brady, QB — $235.2 million
3. Drew Brees, QB — $244.7 million
2. Peyton Manning, QB — $248.7 million
1. Eli Manning, QB — $252.3 million
Theres no doubt Mahomes is an elite quarterback, but was he worthy of this astronomical amount of money? Is this the direction the league is going in the future? Only time will tell.
