KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes said his new contract strikes the right balance between giving him a raise and allowing the Kansas City Chiefs to continue to build a competitive team around him.
"You have to watch and see what what's going on around the league and find that right spot, and I thought we found a good one in this negotiation that we did [in] that we will be able to still keep cap space for other guys to get signed,'' said Mahomes, who now will be paid $210.6 million over the next four seasons -- the highest total in the league.
