Patrick Mahomes Restructures

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs restructured his contract for the next four seasons yesterday.

Hereā€™s what we know about itā€¦

More on it from an article by Adam Teicher of ESPN:

The Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes have restructured his agreement, giving him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026, the most money in NFL history over a four-season span. His compensation for those years is now guaranteed, the quarterback's agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday.

The Chiefs and Mahomes plan to revisit the agreement again after the 2026 season, Equity Sports CEO Chris Cabott, who negotiated the deal on behalf of Mahomes, told Schefter.

Mahomes became the NFL's highest-paid player in the summer of 2020 when he signed a 10-year extension worth $450 million. No player has since topped that contract in terms of total value, but several quarterbacks have passed Mahomes in average annual pay, including four this year -- Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert and Joe Burrowā€¦

[Mahomes] will average $52.6 million over the next four seasons with his restructuring, putting him more in line with the recent quarterback dealsā€¦

More on it from an article by Albert Breer of SI:

Whatā€™s different about this quarterback deal is it adds no new years and no new money, but pushes all kinds of cash forward to recognize where the market has gone in the three years since the sides did their 2020 deal. Mahomes will now make $208.1 million between 2023 and ā€™26, the most money over a four-year span in NFL history.

Since Mahomes signed his 10-year extension, he fell from first to eighth in the average-per-year (APY) metric. And a contract that was built to recognize a rising financial tide became outdated quicklyā€”it was set to tick up from $40 million per year to $50 million per year in 2026. But in ā€™23, we already have four quarterbacks past that benchmark and now Mahomes.

- Joe Burrow, Bengals: Five years, $275 million ($55M APY)

- Mahomes, Chiefs: Four years, $210.6 million ($52.65M APY)

- Justin Herbert, Chargers, Five years, $262.5 million ($52.5M APY)

- Lamar Jackson, Ravens, Five years, $260 million ($52M APY)

- Jalen Hurts, Eagles: Five years, $255 million ($51M APY)

Big Red Speaks

Coach Reid spoke to the media yesterday.

  • No injuries to report

  • The offense has to eliminate mistakes. They had 12 penalties and 3 turnovers against Jacksonville.

  • Jawaan Taylor ā€œis a good football playerā€¦ Heā€™s got to back up and start over on this. Heā€™s plenty quick.ā€ There were lots of eyes on his on Sunday.

  • The defense is playing really well. The coaches have done a great job and ā€œthe guys have an energy and a confidence that wasnā€™t there last yearā€¦ It was also good to get Chris back in there. Heā€™s a disruptive guy.ā€

  • On the offense: ā€œI have a pretty good feel on what we have, but I donā€™t like what weā€™re doing. Iā€™m not big on turnovers, and Iā€™m not big on penalties. And weā€™ve got too many of them right now.ā€

  • On Travis Kelce: ā€œTravis was fighting Travis. He was getting butched as we call itā€¦ where they try to bang you up one way or anotherā€¦ Iā€™m sure his leg probably didnā€™t feel 100%.ā€
