Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes says he doesn't feel he's underpaid amid the rapidly changing fiscal landscape for NFL quarterbacks. 'I'm doing pretty well myself,' he said.
Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, signed a 10-year, $450 million deal in 2020. That deal was restructured last season, with Mahomes, 28, set to earn $210.6 million through 2026 -- an average of $52.6 million per season -- with plans to revisit the agreement after that.Instead of crying foul over the ever-rising fiscal bar at the position, Mahomes instead applauded what's happening around the league.
Mahomes, a two-time league MVP and six-time Pro Bowl selection who has thrown for 28,424 yards and accounted for 231 touchdowns in his seven NFL seasons, ranks 11th among quarterbacks in average annual salary, but the restructure has him more in line with the newer megadeals being announced."I think we do a great job of managing my money, to be able to pay me a lot of money and keep a good team around me," Mahomes told USA Today Sports.
"... It's about having that plan, that constant communication. And we have that here. I'm happy to see guys going out and getting as much money as possible. That's awesome for the sport. But here we have a great communication system where I feel like we've done the best with what we can do."
