Patrick Mahomes has agreed to his first NFL contract extension, and it is a massive one as expected.

Some questioned whether or not the Chiefs would sign Mahomes to an extension with new uncertainty caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but that did not stand in the way of a deal. The two sides have been discussing a record-breaking contract throughout the offseason.
Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl title last year and was named MVP. He won the NFL MVP Award in 2018, when he threw for 5,097 yards, 50 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.
