It’s pretty clear to everyone that the QB is king in the NFL, right? They’re the linchpins of the team, often making or breaking a game. But what these QBs do off the field can be just as crucial as their on-field heroics. Take Tom Brady, for example. The 7x SB winner tweaked his contract multiple times with the Patriots.

It wasn’t about taking pay cuts; it was more about moving money around, ensuring the team could bring in and keep top talent. Fast forward, and Brady’s strategy contributed to a whopping six Super Bowl wins with New England. Now, another QB is following in his footsteps.

Patrick Mahomes, the next Tom Brady?

It seems Patrick Mahomes is taking a page out of Brady’s playbook. Apparently, “Patrick Mahomes is following that blueprint.” Remember back in 2020, when Mahomes signed a deal with the Chiefs? Even then, analysts were saying he’d end up being underpaid. And look at that, it’s already happening. But Mahomes, ever the team player, decided to unlock over $20 million in cap space this offseason. Dan Patrick explained on his show, “Now, he’s still going to get that money; he just doesn’t get that money now.”

What was the result? The Chiefs managed to keep stars like Chris Jones and Travis Kelce, not to mention ensuring up-and-comers like Trent McDuffie, Creed Humphrey, and L’Jarius Sneed stick around.

Mahomes is in this for the long haul, eyeing not just matching Brady’s Super Bowl count but maybe even surpassing it. It’s all about the long game, aiming for those seven rings. And, obviously, knowing the kind of team it takes to get there.

Can Mahomes surpass Brady?

Is it even possible? Could Mahomes actually outshine Tom Brady and snag the title of “GOAT”? At first glance, you might think, “Mahomes as the GOAT? That’s a stretch.” But hold on a second. Dive a little deeper, and you’ll see the conversation isn’t as far-fetched as it seems. For one, Mahomes has thrown for over 20,000 yards, surpassing Brady’s mark of approximately 14,000 yards by age 28.

Then, imagine this: the Chiefs took down the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. That’s three championships in just five years. Mahomes isn’t just keeping pace with Brady’s early career. He’s setting his own blistering trail. At 28, his stats are already nudging past Brady’s at the same age in almost every key area.

Sure, Brady’s still got those seven Super Bowl rings, but remember, he played for two whole decades. Mahomes? He’s only seven seasons in. So, as Mahomes joins the elite club of QBs with back-to-back Super Bowls, could he surpass Brady.
