Patrick Mahomes reportedly signs the largest contract in the history of U.S. sports -- over $427 mil. [View all]

Patrick Mahomes, a 24-year-old quarterback who led the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl win on Feb. 2, 2020, was rewarded with a 10-year contract extension that ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter says is the biggest in U.S. sports history.

According to Schefter, Mahomes was owed $27.6 million over two years on his existing deal, and the extension is worth at least $400 million. Until now, the largest U.S. sports contract belonged to baseball player Mike Trout, at $426.5 million.

On Feb. 2, 2020, Mahomes was the youngest quarterback to ever be named a Super Bowl MVP, and he was named the NFL’s MVP for the 2018 season.
