Patrick Mahomes, QB for the Kansas City Chiefs, breaks all records with a new contract. The 28-year-old is one of the best QBs in the NFL and has performed for the team consistently. While being the star player for the Chiefs, he is severely underpaid as compared to other QBs in the league. Recently, it was announced that the terms of his contract are being revisited and it can only mean good for the number 15 player.
Mahomes is currently eighth among league quarterbacks in average salary. He signed a 10-year contract with the Chiefs valued at over $450 million. Though it was one of the highest-paid contracts at the time, Mahomes is on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of fees compared to the rest of his athletes. But now with new revelations and the NFL deciding to revisit his contract, Mahomes will surely be leading the list of the top-paid QBs.

Though the Chiefs lost to the Detroit Lions in their opening game, they are more than making up for it in their recent games.
