NFL Report: Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes breaks silence on Dak Prescott’s record deal with Cowboys…
Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes addressed the new contracts in the NFL after the Dallas Cowboys made Dak Prescott the highest-paid player in the league.
Patrick Mahomes may be widely regarded as the best active quarterback in the NFL, but the Kansas City Chiefs star doesn’t hold the biggest contract in the league. In fact, there’s a huge gap between him and Dak Prescott in terms of annual average salary, following the latter’s historic extension with the Dallas Cowboys.
On the very first Sunday of the 2024 season, the Cowboys ended a months-long saga with their quarterback by handing Prescott a four-year, $240 million deal to make him the highest-paid player in NFL history.
This situation gave plenty to talk about withint the football community, as every new contract makes Mahomes’ deal look even more outdated. However, the Chiefs star made it clear after Prescott’s extension that he has no problem with seeing other quarterbacks getting paid.
Mahomes not worried about his Chiefs contract
Before the Cowboys handed Prescott a record deal, plenty of NFL quarterbacks got paid during the offseason. And while those extensions saw Mahomes further sink on the list of highest-paid QBs based on annual average salary, the Chiefs star let everyone know he’s not worried about his current contract.
