It’s been just three years since he signed a 10-year, $450 million contract extension, but Patrick Mahomes could receive a new deal from the Kansas City Chiefs before the start of the 2023 season.
Per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, the two-time NFL MVP is expected to sign a contract that will make him the highest-paid player in league history.
With Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson moving past the $50M per year on long-term deals, Mahomes’ $45 million deal has fallen to seventh at the position.
When Mahomes signed his first extension in July 2020, it included additional guarantees that could push the total value of the deal up to $503 million. However, even though the deal was the richest in NFL history by total value, Mahomes took a team-friendly contract that gave the Chiefs flexibility to add talent.
He will now be rewarded for his generosity and putting the team first.

Mahomes finished the season with 5,614 yards — 5,250 yards passing, 358 yards rushing, and 6 yards receiving — to set the all-time record.
The 27-year-old won his second MVP award last season. The Chiefs have made it to the AFC Championship Game in each of Mahomes’ five years as their starting quarterback, including two Super Bowl victories.
It’s safe to say that he is worth it.
