What Patrick Mahomes’ deal means for the Arizona Cardinals’ QB situation

By now almost everyone who follows the NFL has heard the news, so I’ll skip over the basics and just focus on this:

Mahomes was drafted in 2017 and has had maybe the greatest start to a career of any professional athlete. But what he’s done also is set now a new benchmark for a Franchise Quarterback’s second deal in the NFL.

His yearly cap hit will be for the first 3 years $7 million, $24 million and then $31 million before it shoots into the stratosphere.

Around an average of $45 million per year.
