Patrick Mahomes has become the star of Kansas City Chiefs. He has brought on 2 Super Bowls to Kansas City and has earned almost half a billion dollars doing it. With one of the biggest contracts in the NFL, the QB has proven his worth. Recently, there have been shifts in the NFL in terms of contracts. With players like Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson, Mahomes’ contract has slowly dropped in ranking. However, there might be a chance that the Mahomes’ pay might climb back up to the top.

After getting paid by the Ravens, Lamar Jackson has become one of the highest-paid QBs, inching close to Mahomes’ contract. However, as per some official sources, the Chiefs might be able to top off the hefty $52 million contract that Jackson is getting. The question here remains, Does Mahomes actually want such a huge contract?
