Given a deal that was $10MM north of the previous NFL AAV record two summers ago, Patrick Mahomes has seen his $45MM-per-year pact fall to fourth. This offseason saw Aaron Rodgers surpass $50MM per year and Deshaun Watson‘s fully guaranteed $46MM-per-year pact lead to Kyler Murray signing for $46.1MM on average. Mahomes received the $45MM salary because he agreed to a 10-year extension, and the superstar Chiefs quarterback has said he is unconcerned about where is contract currently stands among QBs. But a source informed Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed the Chiefs could adjust his deal “sooner than later.” Mahomes, 26, has never been expected to play out his through-2031 contract. It will be passed many times between now and its expiration date. Lamar Jackson is almost certainly gunning for a deal north of that $45MM figure. It does not look like the Chiefs will be addressing the contract this year, but in addition to Jackson, Russell Wilson should be expected to pass Mahomes’ pact by 2023. Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert will also be extension-eligible in January.
A team agreeing to redo a player’s deal with so many years left on it stands to be an interesting contract chapter — one that may not be too far in the future — but Mahomes is rather important to this franchise’s prospects. Here is the latest from the AFC West:
Broncos also lost another player today with a dislocated elbow.
Kyler Murray at $46.1 over Watson’s $46 is like who has the biggest contest. When does it end. All 3 at the top have issues. Rodgers is a straight up flake. Murray is a head case and Watson we all know wha the is. Ask Tyreek Hill if having the biggest was worth it. He is now stuck with a rag arm and trying daily to convince himself he is better, all the while lamenting leaving his buddies in KC. Let’s see how that works out for ya “ cheetah.”
Rodgers has literally won back to back MVP awards if anyone has earned that money.. its him. Regardless of playoff performance.
How many of those QB’s won a Super Bowl after eating up the lion’s share of their team’s salary cap? Zero.
It’s a pretty small sample size that’s thrown off by how many Super Bowls have been won by Brady, who always took a discount.
You just strengthened his point. Brady taking a discount made a big difference in NE being able to put a decent team around him.
I think it has more to do with the greatest of all time taking a discount. Nick $&@%ing Foles winning a super bowl also isn’t terribly informative.
Isn’t that literally what he just said? The discount is important to team success.
