How much does Patrick Mahomes make? Contract details, salary, what to know
Published 2 February 2025
Patrick Mahomes has established himself not only as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks, but as one of the best in league history.
Through his first seven seasons, Mahomes has won three Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs and two NFL MVPs. He has a chance to earn a fourth Lombardi Trophy in 2025 – which would match Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw for the second-most Super Bowl wins by a starting quarterback in NFL history – before he turns 30.
Naturally, Mahomes' success led him to become one of the best compensated players in the NFL. But while his overall contract has yet to be matched, he quickly became a bargain for the Kansas City Chiefs relative to other players at the position.
Here's what to know about Mahomes' deal with Kansas City and how it compares to other top-paid quarterbacks across the NFL.
Patrick Mahomes contract details
Mahomes signed a 10-year, $450 million extension with the Chiefs in July 2020, just about five months after the quarterback led Kansas City to a Super Bowl 54 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
At the time, the deal made Mahomes the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history. He has since been surpassed in annual earnings by numerous signal-callers, but his overall deal remains the richest in NFL history.
