Quarterback · Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes

No. 15 · 10th season

Mahomes just bought himself more time at the top

There are quarterbacks who get one contract extension. Then there's Patrick Mahomes, who just got another one.

Mahomes has been the center of gravity for the Kansas City Chiefs for years — the player opponents build game plans around, the reason the franchise keeps showing up in the conversation every January. He already signed one of the largest contracts in sports history. Now two more years have been added on top of that.

The details of the new terms were not part of this report, but the move itself says plenty. Teams don't keep extending players they aren't certain about. This is an organization locking in its future, again, while it still can.

For Mahomes, the question was never whether the money would come. It was always how long this run would last. Two more years on the clock means the answer, for now, is: longer.
