Hopefully they can’t field an all-star team around him anymore. However, ring-hungry vets will take less to play with this kid like they did for BB/Brady.
The Chiefs locked up their stud QB and with proper drafting they’ll be in the mix for a decade or more with a video game offense. Let’s see if Kermit has the goods to challenge Tom for the throne.
Have the Chiefs opened the door to salary cap hell??
If he stands the test of time could become the GOAT, but the contract is extraordinarily long..
I'm hoping the Chiefs get Flacco'ed over this...Baltimore was never the same for 6 years after they won the SB and gave Flacco $30 milliion per year.

Honestly only Kelce and maybe Hill have strong cases for best at position money and for as much as we trash him, Kelce seems pretty content where he is and the Chiefs did stick by Hill so he kinda owes them oneThe cap hit for the first 3 years is palatable
2020 5 million and change
2021 25 million rounded up.
2022 31.5 million.
Looks like the Chiefs have a window to win before the big money hits Mahomes. I just do not see how the other Chiefs players do not become jealous and want to be the highest paid too.
Yes size matterI can't see Mahomes staying healthy over the course of this contract...but of course, I am a hater.
Only ~$63m is fully guaranteed, the headline number of 10 years/$450m is all funny money.
Mahomes got his headline but was clowned on in the small print.
Agreed, the 5 years after and before Jackson, their record was 40-40 with 1 playoff. Flacco was an issue, but they also lost RLKAG and Reed to retirement / free agency right after the superbowl season. Let's see how long the Chiefs can keep their other key players.I'm hoping the Chiefs get Flacco'ed over this...Baltimore was never the same for 6 years after they won the SB and gave Flacco $30 milliion per year.
This deal is actually pretty team friendly after you read the breakdown of it from PFT:
The preliminary Patrick Mahomes contract details - ProFootballTalk
In the first two years, Mahomes will earn $33.361 million. Through the first three years, Mahomes will earn $63.08 million. Through the first four years, Mahomes will earn $103.53 million. By way of comparison, Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will earn $118 million over the next four years — and he won’t be tied to his team for another eight seasons.
The Chiefs will have him for pretty friendly rate while the current team is intact and still in their prime.
