On Monday, we learned that the Kansas City Chiefs had restructured the contract of their superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Reports indicated that the revision of his 2020 contract — which runs through the 2031 season — would pay him $210.6 million for 2023 and the three seasons to follow. That’s $52.7 million in average annual value (AAV).
The salary-cap site Spotrac has now published what we believe are the full details of the restructure.
