Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the team to a Super Bowl ring and might be the face of the NFL’s next dynasty. Now, the Chiefs are rewarding him with a record 10-year contract extension.

The Chiefs started discussing a contract extension with Mahomes even before Super Bowl LIV. After the 24-year-old quarterback won a ring and was named MVP of the game, it was just a matter of time before he landed a historic extension.

While everyone expected Mahomes’ new contract to shatter records, completely changing the landscape for quarterbacks with a unique structure, no one saw this insane coming. As word broke that Mahomes would be signing the richest contract in NFL history, the NFL world lit up with reactions to the decade-long contract.
