Patrick Mahomes has secured his future.
On Monday, the reigning Super Bowl MVP signed on for a 10-year contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs that will keep him under team control through the 2031 season.
While the numbers will undoubtedly change as the seasons go on, the deal Mahomes signed is worth up to $503 million — the biggest contract in the history of sports. When the deal was done, all Mahomes could do is laugh.

Mahomes has been nothing short of magnificent through two seasons as the Chiefs starting quarterback, winning NFL MVP in 2018, and then leading Kansas City to its first Super Bowl in 50 years this past February.
With his new deal in place, Mahomes and the Chiefs are well-positioned to make a run at becoming the next great NFL dynasty.
