As expected, the NFL’s quarterback market has been completely reset by Patrick Mahomes. The Kansas City Chiefs inked the quarterback to a 10-year contract Monday, worth $503 million (yeah, not a typo there) that is added on to the final two years of his rookie contract.
49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo already was knocked out of having the league’s highest base salary for 2020 by Dak Prescott’s franchise tag with the Dallas Cowboys, and Jimmy G now has the fourth-largest total contract in the NFL after Mahomes’ record-obliterating contract extension.
Mahomes' new deal sets him up for an average annual salary of $47.
