The Chiefs are adding two years to Patrick Mahomes contract in a reworked deal that keeps him in Kansas City through 2033.

Breaking down the new deal

The new money is worth $239.05 million, bringing the total value $504.75 million, making it the first contract in NFL history to surpass the half-billion dollar mark.

The first four years of the reworked contract will be fully guaranteed at signing, with all $504.75 million protected through various contract mechanisms.

Mahomes can increase the value of the deal to as much as $522.25 million through performance incentives and escalators. Beginning in 2027, the new agreement will take effect and average $64 million per year.
