Patrick Mahomes signed a 10-Year, $503 Million ($477 million Guaranteed) Contract Extension with Kansas City Chiefs.
That is the largest and richest contract in the history of sports excluding endorsement money of course.
I knew he was going to get big money but I didn't think he would get way more than anyone who has ever played in the NFL especially with only playing 2 seasons so far as a starter.
That is far more than Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Bree's ever received in there prime and those 3 Quarterbacks are in the top 5 QB's of all time.
I hate to say this being a die hard Chiefs fan but that is so much money. The Chiefs are not going to be able to retain everyone that is good let alone sign additional star players.
Football is obviously not a 1 man sport like it is with Golf, Boxing, Basketball, and even Baseball.
It will be very interesting to see what happens. I remember the Chiefs trading the Farm to get Matt Cassel after 1 good year up in New England and he was bat**** awful in KC and then Alex Smith played very well here and went to play for the Skins and before his injury he was 6-4 and only just average.
I also remember the Chiefs Signing Larry Johnson for almost 50 Million Contract Extension way back in 2007 after he rushed for over 3,500 yards within 2 seasons being in an elite class of only 6 other RB's in the history of the NFL being able to do that and afterwards after signing a RB to what was big money way back then he went soft and a complete bust.
The NFL preseason for 2020 was cancelled and wouldn't doubt if the actual 2020 Season gets cancelled also I sure hope it doesn't but more than likely will. The short 60 Game MLB Season was just barley hanging on by a thread when the Marlins had to postpone 8 Games and also the Cardinals had to postpone 19 games themselves. Now I read where more games are about to be cancelled and baseball isn't a contact sport.
It's to bad I really wanted to see Mahomes play this year and I hope it happens I think everyone wants to see if he can keep scoring points like a basketball team in some of his games. Mahomes has never lost a game by more than 1 Score as an NFL Starter playing in 36 Starts so far and he is the only QB to win league MVP & Super Bowl before turning 25 years old.
I actually saw Patrick Mahomes dancing at a night club from a distance here in Kansas City earlier this year. I wouldn't be at public places like that in times like this being a famous half a billionaire.
