Patrick Mahomes has always been focused on winning on the field, even when he signed his massive 10-year contract extension worth an NFL-record $477 million in July 2020.
Mahomes knew that if he performed at an elite level, the money would come. As this offseason has brought a series of players signing record-breaking deals, which includes Cardinals’ Kyler Murray signing a five-year, $230.5 million contract extension on Thursday, Mahomes said other players getting paid makes him happy and is good for the league’s salary cap.
“It’s awesome,” Mahomes told reporters at the start of training camp on Friday.
