Patrick Mahomes is in Kansas City to stay after signing a monster extension with the Chiefs.
As if Chiefs fans weren’t fired up enough about Patrick Mahomes new contract extension, the king of K.C. tweeted out a hype video to the masses.
At just 24 years old, being signed through the 2031 season sounds like an eternity. Yet if the Chiefs are to embark upon the dynasty so many expect from them, locking up their franchise quarterback is the perfect place to start.
Mahomes deal, which adds 10 years to his current contract, should be worth somewhere in the realm of $450 million. That’s not chump change, but it could be argued he’s worth even more in the grand scheme of things.
Patrick Mahomes fires up Chiefs fans with hype video after extension.
Mahomes has already exceeded the wildest expectations of Andy Reid and Brett Veach when they drafted him in 2017. Yet, that’s precisely where this video starts, reminding Chicago Bears fans yet again that they passed on two of the greatest QBs of their generation for Mitchell Trubisky. For Chiefs fans, though, such a flashback brings nothing but euphoria.
With or without fans in 2020, the Chiefs are set up for a decade of dominance. This is rarified air for a franchise that, before last season, hadn’t won a Super Bowl in 50 years. But with Tom Brady’s twilight years upon us, and the Patriots run of dominance seemingly over (sorry, Cam), there’s nothing keeping the Chiefs from AFC supremacy.
Mahomes, already with an MVP, Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP under his belt, has entered the football stratosphere with nowhere to go but up. One hype video can’t properly depict just how far he’s come in just a few short years, and Chiefs fans are ready for the next step of this journey.
