Kansas City Chiefs don’t have to worry about losing their prized quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 24-year-old signal-caller recently told the media that he wants to be with Chiefs “for a long time.”
Chiefs recently exercised the fifth-year option on Mahomes’ rookie deal while making preliminary talks with the player’s representatives about the long-term extension. The two sides reportedly still have a long way to go, but the 2018’s NFL MVP believes the deal will eventually get done.
“Obviously I want to be a Chief for a long time,” said Mahomes. “I want to have a contract that says that and I can go out there and know I have that security. I understand and trust the Chiefs organization and everybody in it that they’re gonna handle it the right way.”
Mahomes added that he just wants to focus on football and is in no rush, leaving his agents to handle the business side.
“I trust my representation that they’re going to ease my mind and let me go out there and just love the game I love playing,” he explained. “So for me, whenever that happens, it happens. But I’m gonna focus on being the best football player I can be every single day.”
Since being installed as Chiefs’ starting QB in 2018, Patrick Mahomes established himself as one of the best players in the game. In his first season as a starter, he led the league in passing touchdowns while claiming NFL’s Most Valuable Player award alongside several other honors.
2019 saw Mahomes struggle with injuries in the regular season, but he stepped up when it mattered the most and led the Chiefs to their second Super Bowl title. He was also named Super Bowl MVP.
