Patrick Mahomes’ per-year salary ranks him eleventh in the league for quarterbacks. However, he is not concerned.
No Money, No Problem
Patrick Mahomes wants championships, and money is not a top priority.
“…to be able to pay me a lot of money and keep a good team around me,” Mahomes said in reference to his contract situation with the Chiefs.
Since the beginning, the two-time MVP has always been about winning, and by not demanding a record-setting restructure, he respects his original deal and allows Kansas City to re-sign superstars like Chris Jones and Travis Kelce. Now let’s be transparent here, Patrick Mahomes is by no means hurting for money. His average annual salary is $45 million, and he receives plenty more in endorsements. However, it is refreshing to see an all-time great recognize winning is a team effort that requires distributed wealth among the team.
Round of Applause Please
In his first season as a starter, Patrick Mahomes threw for 5,000 yards, 50 touchdowns, won MVP, and led the Kansas City Chiefs to an AFC Championship matchup in which they narrowly fell short to the Brady-led Patriots. At 28 years old, he is going into his seventh season as the starter with six consecutive Conference Championship appearances, four Super Bowl appearances, and three Super Bowl victories under his belt. The Texas Tech product will go down as the greatest quarterback in the history of football and has already changed the game forever. You rarely see the best players in their respective sports take “team-friendly” financial approaches. It has been a mutually beneficial decision, and Mahomes looks to lead the Chiefs to an illustrious three-peat this February.
