QB Patrick Mahomes wants S Tyrann Mathieu with Chiefs for ‘as long as I’m here’ | NFL.com
Due $14.55 million in base salary this upcoming season, Mathieu is entering the last year of his contract. The 29-year-old Mathieu is currently the fifth-highest-paid safety in terms of total value at $42 million and sixth in average per year at $14 million. While still playing at a high level, it’s questionable that the perennial Super Bowl contenders would present Mathieu with another lucrative deal.
The franchise’s face is certainly stumping for him, though.
