Patrick Mahomes Says New Contract Provides Security, Allows Chiefs to Be Great
One day after the Kansas City Chiefs announced a contract extension for Patrick Mahomes, the reigning Super Bowl MVP spoke with the media about bringing the deal together.
Leigh Steinberg, Mahomes' agent, confirmed on Monday that the deal is worth up to $503 million over 10 years and includes $477 million in guarantee mechanisms.
Two things Mahomes emphasized in his press conference was the importance of long-term security and giving the team enough flexibility to keep premiere talent around him.
"I am not gonna lie and say that having a great football team around me doesn't help me," he said.
