Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes has become the highest-paid player in NFL history — also the highest-paid player in the history of professional sports — after agreeing to terms on a 10-year contract extension worth $503 million. The extension is set to keep him in Kansas City through 2031.
His teammates are ecstatic for him and so are the players that he competes against. They know he just reset the market for not just the quarterback position, but also any player that can complement or compete against that position at a high level. He’s breaking new grounds and will transform how the top players in the league are paid for years to come.
