The market for quarterbacks continues to rise as star players sign new deals, and Patrick Mahomes is aware of that ongoing shift.
But as he told reporters Wednesday, he tries to balance the need to give the Kansas City Chiefs enough cap space to put great players around him while also wanting to continue to push the quarterback market in a positive direction for his fellow signal-callers.
"I worry about legacy and winning rings more than making money at this moment," he said. "We keep communication, we see what's going on around the league. But at the same time, I'll never do anything that's going to hurt us from keeping the great players around me.
