Patrick Mahomes' Agent Suggests He's Willing to Take Team-Friendly Contract Extension
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs remain on top of the world right now. After winning the Super Bowl earlier this month, the party hasn't stopped in KC.
For Mahomes, things are only going to get better, as he's expected to receive a monster contract extension sooner than later. But, could he end up taking less than what he's surely worth on the open market for the good of his team?
This is certainly interesting from Mahomes' agent, Leigh Steinberg, who came out and said money isn't the No. 1 focus for his star quarterback. Sure, the superstar QB is going to get an extension worth well over, say, $100 million, but he wants to help Kansas City win more Super Bowls. If that means taking a bit less than what his achievement suggests he ought to, so be it.
This has got to be refreshing for Chiefs fans, who have seen the dance between Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys go nowhere for months now. It doesn't look like the Chiefs will have that same kind of an issue with Mahomes.
Many local supporters didn't think they'd be able to love Mahomes more than they already did. After this latest update, that's surely no longer the case.
