When the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes agreed on a 10-year, $503 million extension in 2020, the deal set a new benchmark in the NFL. However, that benchmark may not last for long. With recent deals for Deshaun Watson of the Cleveland Browns, Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles and Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens, Mahomes’ contract value is now well behind the top in the league. But the Chiefs’ superstar quarterback might be about to change that, again shaking the NFL world.

A recent report revealed some massive renegotiation deal news between the Chiefs and the star quarterback Mahomes. Let’s unfold the new NFL chapter and get into details, about how Mahomes is set to shake the NFL world again.

Patrick Mahomes might again shake the NFL world

According to a recent report by Mike Florio of NBC Sports, it is anticipated that Mahomes and the Chiefs will come to a renegotiated agreement before the commencement of the 2023 NFL season. With the Chiefs’ general manager, Brett Veach, having previously expressed his openness to adjusting Mahomes’ contract amid the rising quarterback market, this news shouldn’t come as a surprise to Chiefs fans.

The fascinating aspect to ponder is the potential restructuring of Mahomes’ contract. Initially, when Mahomes inked his 10-year extension, he fashioned the agreement in a way that provided the Chiefs with space to construct a team around him. It’s sensible to assume that any modifications made to his contract would uphold a comparable degree of versatility. The team’s chairman and CEO, Clark Hunt, has also expressed admiration for Mahomes’ team-first approach, indicating that the quarterback is willing to make sacrifices to enable the Chiefs to remain competitive.

With Mahomes’ deal expected to be renegotiated before the 2023 NFL season begins, the question on everyone’s mind is what his new contract will look like. Will he become the highest-paid player in league history again? Or will he continue to prioritize the team’s success over his personal financial gain?

Half a billion quarterback

Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, is an absolute sensation in American football. His remarkable skills and leadership capabilities led the Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win in over five decades.

The team faced the daunting challenge of determining how much they were willing to invest in retaining their star player.

Ultimately, they agreed on a groundbreaking ten-year deal worth more than $500 million, making Mahomes the highest-paid NFL player ever. This decision was not without risk as investing such a significant portion of their salary cap in one player often results in a weakened supporting cast.

However, Mahomes has proven his worth time and again by continuing to perform at an exceptional level even with a less-than-stellar team around him. In fact, he was named the NFL’s most valuable player for the second time during his young career just recently. In 2020, Mahomes shared a video via Twitter, which you seem to have forgotten. Quoting, “Here to stay. . .!⏰⏰”, Mahomes shared this video (Comment if you also got goosebumps):

As we eagerly await the start of the 2023 NFL season, rumors are swirling about possible contract negotiations between Mahomes and the Chiefs with the burning question on everyone’s mind being what kind of deal he will get this time around whether he gets it back or be the highest paid player in league history. It’s no secret that Mahomes has proven to be an exceptional quarterback, and his success has certainly paid dividends for the Chiefs. The potential restructuring of his league would certainly be an interesting consideration, as it could have a huge impact on the future development of his team.
