Twitter reacts to Patrick Mahomes’ extension with Chiefs.
Super Bowl MVP and Kansas City Chiefs wunderkind Patrick Mahomes has just secured the richest contract in NFL history and needless to say, the fans have a lot of opinions about it. To say that Mahomes was deserving is an understatement as perhaps we’re watching the birth of the next NLF GOAT. But there are, of course, doubters who wonder what kind of shape Mahomes will be in just five years … let alone 10.
And … Mahomes still had two years left on his current contract, so to say the Chiefs know what they have and don’t want to lose it is kind of a no-brainer.
Regardless of how we feel, the 10-year expansion happened and we just get to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Patrick Mahomes’ 10-year -- 10-year! -- contract extension that ties him to Kansas City through the 2031 season will be the richest contract in NFL history.

When Mahomes’ extension is up he’ll be just 34 years old, that’s eight years younger than Tom Brady is right now. Let that sink in. He’ll still be in prime age for a quarterback.
That’s two years younger than Aaron Rodgers and seven years younger than Drew Brees.
Though this extension seems like a crazy good deal for Mahomes, could it be jinxing the star and sending him down a path he can’t live up to?
Only time will tell.
