NFL star Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs shocked the sports world when they reached a new contract agreement worth more than half a billion dollars.
The 24-year-old football player has just signed a record-breaking contract extension worth $503 million with the Kansas City Chiefs. With the new contract, the reigning NFL champion will tie Mahomes down for another 10 years. Mahomes’ previous contract with Kansas City is still valid until the end of 2021.
According to ESPN writer Adam Schefter, this is a record contract in NFL history. Information about the record contract between Mahomes and Kansas City was predicted in January 2019. Schefter revealed at that time that Mahomes was expected to receive a record contract from Kansas City.
In addition, CBS Sports writer Jason La Canfora also mentioned this record contract in January 2020. La Canfora revealed that Kansas City planned to give Mahomes a contract with a salary of at least $40 million per year. However, the figure of 503 million USD and a term of 10 years still makes connoisseurs feel surprised.
Mahomes is the world’s top football star despite being only 24 years old. Bleacher Report even fondly calls Mahomes “the Michael Jordan of football”.
Mahomes was selected by Kansas City at the 10th position in the 2017 NFL Draft. He soon became a star of the league when he received the MVP (Best Player) of the season and Offensive Player of the Year Award in 2018.
In 2019, Mahomes led Kansas City to win the prestigious Super Bowl championship (equivalent to the NBA Finals – NBA Finals series) after 50 years of waiting. He also became the youngest quarterback of all time to receive the Super Bowl MVP title. At the age of 24, Mahomes gradually became the face of the NFL, the world’s top football star and has a large fan base.
