Things change pretty fast in the NFL. After Patrick Mahomes signed his massive extension on Monday, it looks like things are going to continue to change. Ten-year contracts don’t come very often. In fact there’s only been five other quarterbacks in NFL history to sign such long contracts. This extension makes Mahomes the richest pro athlete in America. Ten years, potentially $503 million. Good googly moogly that’s a lot of cash.
The only thing I could think about when the Mahomes contract was announced on Monday was how insignificant Matthew Stafford’s five-year, $135 million contract looks right now.
