Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs fans react to Bobby Witt Jr.’s massive extension with Royals

Bobby Witt Jr Patrick Mahomes Royals Patrick Mahomes II Kansas City

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is no longer the only professional athlete in Western Missouri with a massive contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars after Bobby Witt Jr. inked a massive contract extension on Monday.

News broke about Witt’s new deal this afternoon, and fans in Kansas City were delighted to find out that the star shortstop will remain with the Royals for at least the better part of the next decade.

Mahomes owns a minority share of the Royals and was among the first people to react to Witt’s signing on social media.

While the reigning MVP quarterback may not be bankrolling Witt’s deal, Mahomes’ massive 10-year, $450 million contract set the standard for big-spending back in 2020.

Mahomes and Witt are now cemented as the faces of Kansas City’s major sports franchises and may prove to be among the best duos of stars in a single market.

Check out Mahomes’ reaction, among others, to Witt’s deal:
