As US media reported on Monday, citing anonymous sources, the Super Bowl champion is now guaranteed $210.6 million (197.51 million euros) over the next four years following a restructuring of his contract. No one has ever earned more for such a period in the National Football League.
Mahomes has already been the NFL professional with the largest contract in league history since 2020, when he signed a ten-year contract worth $450 million. He turned 28 on Sunday.
Since his signing a little more than three years ago, numerous other quarterbacks have received contracts that guaranteed them more money on average per year than Mahomes would have earned with the Chiefs. Joe Burrow has recently been getting an average of $55 million a year with the Cincinnati Bengals. Justin Herbert, Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson were also better paid than Mahomes on average for the year.
After his second Super Bowl victory in February, when he led the Chiefs to victory against the Philadelphia Eagles despite an ankle injury, the Chiefs wanted to move Mahomes further up the league’s money list. Chiefs boss Clark Hunt recently said that no matter how much money Mahomes earns in his career, “he will be underpaid.” Mahomes is currently playing his seventh NFL season. His contract with the Chiefs runs until 2031.
