Kansas City Chiefs’ Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes is already a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and two-time Super Bowl Champion in his first five seasons as starting quarterback. The Kansas City Chiefs deserve some credit after making him the highest-paid player in history, even before winning the Super Bowl LVII against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Contract Extension
However, it didn’t take long before his 10-year, $450 million contract extension lost the top spot in terms of annual average value. That’s why Pro Football Talk host Mike Florio believes Mahomes and the Chiefs will restructure the deal to help him return to number one.
Reevaluation of the Deal
The reevaluation of Mahomes’ contract could be essential for the team’s success in the coming years. A well-structured deal will not only keep Mahomes at the top spot but also allow the team to build a strong roster around the star quarterback. It can be expected that negotiations would ensue to ensure a mutual agreement is reached.
Impact on NFL
Such a change in contract could significantly impact the NFL landscape, as other teams and players would look to reevaluate their contracts as well. It’s crucial for the NFL and its teams to maintain competitiveness and fairness, ensuring that players are adequately compensated for their skills and contributions to the sport.
