DJB Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1703847138982006793?s=20 Â The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have restructured his agreement, giving him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026, the most money in NFL history over a four season span. His compensation for those years is now guaranteed. Also, the Chiefs and Mahomes plan to re-visit the agreement again after the 2026 season, as told to ESPN by Equity Sports CEO, Chris Cabott, who negotiated the deal on behalf of Mahomes.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 People always get pissed off when every time a new QB contract is posted, I mention what a bargain Josh's contract is. So I won't do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) So, now he makes 52 mil per year, for the next 4 years, all guaranteed? Plus, he’s a FA when this is done.    Is that correct?  I wonder why this happened when it did.  Did Mahomes request this because he felt underpaid?  He now makes the Watson deal not the standard for contracts.  I have to assume this is the deal that make’s guaranteed deals a real thing in the NFL.   This is quietly huge and game changing   Edited September 18, 2023 by Virgil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you logically.  However, players and agents don’t operate that way.  Every new contract for a top 10 guy will demand to beat this.  On some level, I hope Tua stays healthy and wins a playoff game.  That contract could cripple the Dolphins.   Also, Chiefs are going to be hard pressed to buy anyone else to support Mahomes.  Should be interesting 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply got negotiated two years ago. Every (absurd) new contract is richer than the last.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 I actually really like Patrick good for him he definitely earned it. Besides between Halilee and himself I doubt Josh is worried about his contract and being undervalued 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably to take care of Kelce and CJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Knew he wasn’t going to play the entire 10 years under that $45M/yr amount, but I didn’t think the pay raise would happen so quickly. AND include another option to renegotiate for even more after the raise expires. Josh’s agent is licking his lips somewhere. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
