Patrick Mahomes ready to collect rings after record extension
By John Buhler
Patrick Mahomes is on a quest to collect as many rings as humanly possible.
Not even 24 hours after signing a record-setting contract, Patrick Mahomes is back in the gym.
The Kansas City Chiefs extended Mahomes on a 10-year deal over $500 million. The reigning Super Bowl MVP won’t be hitting free agency until he’s 37 years old in 2031. Despite having more job security than any human would know what to do with, Mahomes told Bleacher Report’s Adam Lefkoe, he’s on a quest to collect even more Super Bowl rings.
I asked @PatrickMahomes if he was floating last night, he said he had to be up at 7AM for a workout...

“Still got rings to collect”
🐐🐐🐐
Despite some Dom Perignon arriving at the Chiefs facility yesterday, Mahomes doesn’t have time to be hungover these days. He has to win his Chiefs as many Super Bowls as possible.
Patrick Mahomes is pushing to have more Super Bowl rings than Tom Brady.
This the type of commit that has to have Chiefs Kingdom even more fired up. We didn’t think the Chiefs fanbase could be this amped about Mahomes’ record-setting extension. Now that the check has cleared, it’s about earning every cent of that 10-year extension for Mahomes. Bad 10-year contract to NFL quarterbacks have happened before, so he can’t go down that path.
What Mahomes seems to have figured out already is the Hunt Family isn’t paying all that money for what he did the last two years, but for what they believe he’ll do for their team in the next dozen. Mahomes is only 24 years old, so he has his whole NFL career ahead of him. He actually has a chance to be the greatest quarterback in the history of football if it pans out for him.
Next. These 5 NFL teams are going to win the Super Bowl soon. dark
Are the Chiefs going to win ever Super Bowl for the rest of time? No, that’s not how football works. However, it would be shocking if he doesn’t match Terry Bradshaw or Joe Montana’s total of four. Frankly, getting to only Troy Aikman territory of three would be considered a disappointment for Mahomes’ talent. Matching Brady’s six will be tough, but it could so happen.
Mahomes hitting the gym the morning after his record-setting contract means he’s all business.
