The sports world was recently shaken by a groundbreaking event: Shohei Ohtani’s historic signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This deal is a 10-year contract worth a staggering $700 million. It marks the richest in Major League Baseball history. Ohtani has turned what was once a franchise daydream into a landmark reality for the Dodgers.

The NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes, himself known for significant deals, was notably surprised by this development. He shared that on his social media account. The magnitude of Ohtani’s move was further underscored when Mahomes received guidance from a legendary figure in the NFL.

JJ Watt suggested something to Mahomes

The monumental contract signed by Shohei Ohtani with the LA Dodgers has captured the attention of stars from other sports. The NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and JJ Watt were among those who took to social media to express their amazement at this development. The Chiefs Mahomes promptly congratulated Ohtani. He said, “Bro like what! Congrats to him!”

JJ Watt also expressed his awe and tweeted, “My goodness.” Later, Watt, in his post, humorously suggested that Mahomes should consider enhancing his pass-rush moves. He said, “Start working on those pass rush moves. Imagine being able to do both at an All-Pro level. Guy is insane.”

This cross-sport engagement reflects the extraordinary impact of Ohtani’s groundbreaking agreement with the Dodgers. Moreover, even though Patrick Mahomes holds one of the biggest contracts in the NFL, there is a huge difference between his and Ohtani’s contract.

Ohtani’s record-breaking deal surpasses NFL’s top contracts

Shohei Ohtani’s recent signing with the Dodgers stands out as a watershed moment. It positions him as the highest-paid athlete globally in terms of annual contract value. His $700 million deal with the Dodgers surpasses the contracts of even the highest-earning NFL players.

Patrick Mahomes, with a 10-year, $450 million contract, and Joe Burrow, who recently inked a $275 million deal over five years, are now trailing behind Ohtani in terms of contract magnitude. Upcoming contract extensions for NFL stars like Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence, and Tua Tagovailoa are anticipated to increase their earnings significantly.

However, despite these expected rises in NFL salaries, Ohtani’s landmark deal with the Dodgers is set to remain at the apex of sports contracts. What do you think about it? Let us know below.
