The Kansas City Chiefs‘ decision to draft Patrick Mahomes as the No. 10 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft is the best decision the franchise has ever made.
And now, they’re rewarding him for it.
Mahomes, who’s led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles, is not just the face of the franchise, but also the entire NFL. As the 30-year-old quarterback enters his 10th year with the Chiefs, Kansas City reworked his current deal to lock in the two-time league MVP for the rest of his career.

All $504.75 million becomes guaranteed through contract mechanisms.
“Mahomes can make up to $522.25 million through incentives and escalators. Beginning in 2027, when the new money begins, the deal averages $64 million per year, setting an NFL record for average annual value.”
To celebrate the big news, Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, celebrated with a heartfelt message.
