The Kansas City Chiefs adjusted the market by committing $504.7 million to Patrick Mahomes through the 2033 season, moving his future salary to a record-setting $64 million per year starting next year. This contract mechanism effectively secures the massive pact for a player coming off an injury-shorted 2026 campaign. 

Despite playing just 14-games last season, he posted a 111.6 Explosive Rating (No. 8) and finished as the overall QB2 in fantasy points per game, proving he remains the premier elite asset worth every penny of this historic half-billion-dollar valuation.

Looking ahead to 2026, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler followed up with a report that the Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) are “leaning into” the possibility that he plays in Week 1 against the Broncos. The deal is a reminder to buy the dip in dynasty as Mahomes will be in Kansas City for the at least seven more seasons.
