According to NFL Network’s Ian Raport, the Chiefs have made the easiest decision of their offseason, in picking up the fifth year option for superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes would have been a free agent after the 2020 season barring the move, or the team signing their MVP quarterback to a long term extension.
The move should come as no surprise to anyone, as the Chiefs basically have no choice but to ensure that they continue to be led by the best young quarterback in football.
For his part, Mahomes will receive a substantial raise if he plays the 2021 season on the option.
