The best NFL quarterback and reigning champion of the league, announced along with the Kansas City Chiefs that they extend their commitment for 10 more years and a maximum compensation of $ 503 million.
Beyond the number and ramifications of the agreement, the challenge for Patrick Mahomes, but above all for the management of Kansas City, will be to surround him with enough talent to compete in a league that, due to its structure, seeks to make the good guys become bad and the bad guys do good.
If Pat Mahomes’ money prevents the team from having flexibility for years to come, Mahomes will be able to put up large individual numbers but few collective successes.
It’s no secret to anyone that many quarterbacks leave the NFL with a lot of money, but with few or no championships. Mahomes has already won one, but with his new contract going only with that one would be a failure for him, when a good number of fans believe that he can be a historic when his career ends.
The immediate comparison has to be Tom Brady, who has never come close to being the highest-paid players in the league and that largely allowed his team room to cater to what they believed was necessary to consistently compete in the NFL.
The new contract will take effect after Mahomes’ rookie deal ends, so Kansas City has a couple of years to continue enjoying that great benefit of having your most important player in a franchise-friendly contract. In fact, there are 29 quarterbacks who will earn more in 2020 than the Chiefs’ No. 15.
Only time will tell us if the agreement was good or not for Kansas City, the player that cannot be questioned is the impact, significance and noise that a contract for half a billion dollars has made … By the way Dak Prescott, Deshaun Watson and everyone who comes after Mahomes are very happy with the numbers this contract has left.
