Patrick Mahomes says he doesn't feel a sense of urgency for the Kansas City Chiefs to "show me the money" after a slew of new quarterback megadeals on the NFL landscape. Tua Tagovailoa parroted the famous movie line after signing his new four-year, $212.4 million extension with the Miami Dolphins. Just hours after that signing, Jordan Love inked a four-year, $220 million deal with the Green Bay Packers. Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, signed a 10-year, $450 million deal in 2020. That deal was restructured last season, with Mahomes, 28, set to earn $210.6 million through 2026 -- an average of $52.6 million per season -- with plans to revisit the agreement after that. Instead of grumbling over the ever-rising fiscal bar at the position, Mahomes instead applauded what's happening around the league. "It's awesome for the game of football," Mahomes told USA Today Sports on Sunday.
Despite the rising numbers around the league, he’s focused on celebrating the growth and success of the sport. It’s great to see someone with his accomplishments remain so positive and supportive. His 10-year, $450 million deal was groundbreaking, and it’s impressive that he’s content with the current situation and open to revisiting it in the future.
