Patrick Mahomes plans to take page out of Tom Brady's book on contracts

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the NFL. In just his fifth year as a starting quarterback, Mahomes has already won two Super Bowls.

In the summer of 2023, Mahomes signed a 10-year contract worth approximately $503 million. The deal represented the total highest value of a contract in NFL history. But as the quarterback market continues to rise and other young star signal callers ink massive deals, Mahomes lost his spot as the league's highest-paid player.

Not being in the No. 1 spot does not seem to bother Mahomes as he appears to want to take a page out of Tom Brady's book. 

"I've looked at Tom's model and how he did it," Mahomes told Sports Illustrated.

Mahomes added that he wants his teammates, namely Chris Jones and tight end Travis Kelce, to have opportunities to land big paydays.

"That's it — you want to make money for yourself and for your family. You want to keep pushing the market forward for other quarterbacks. You don't want to be someone that they [use against other players]. But at the same time, I want these other guys to get paid. I want Chris Jones to be in training camp. I want Travis Kelce to always be making money. I want everybody on the team here."
