There has been a pattern in recent years in the NFL where the next big quarterback deal tends to be a tad more money than the last one.
It’s fair to say that trend just hit a bump in the road following Patrick Mahomes’ mind-bending 10-year, $450 million contract extension through the 2031 season.
All respect to the Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott or the Houston Texans’ Deshaun Watson, but no quarterback anytime soon is likely to receive anything as extravagant or with quite the scope as the Chiefs’ deal with Mahomes just did.
