I’m still on vacation, and will be for a while longer, but the Patrick Mahomes deal is a big one for the sport, and I came across some interesting information the other day on how the Chiefs and their reigning Super Bowl MVP came to a middle ground in a very creative way.
So you won’t get my full GamePlan column like a typical Thursday, but here’s a little info on the mega-deal.
The raw numbers, you know. Mahomes got a 10-year, $450 million extension that puts him on a path to earn at least $477 million, and potentially over a half billion, between now and the end of the 2031 season, during which he’ll turn 36 years old.
