KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Try as they might to determine quarterback Patrick Mahomes' value to the franchise, the Kansas City Chiefs find that to be a futile exercise. The Chiefs have never had a player like him -- and the NFL hasn’t, either.
“I don't know that there's really a way to quantify it financially,” Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said last spring. “No matter what he makes over his career, I’m sure one way or another he'll be underpaid.”
The Chiefs and Mahomes settled on making him the highest paid NFL player over the next four seasons by giving him $210.
