The NFL’s quarterback market hit the zenith this year. Despite initial interest in WRs, the QBs became a sensation after getting extravagant deals that heightened their annual salary. However, for someone whose average salary rank fell, the heightened boom does not bother him. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is not upset about the recent QB salary hike.

The QB salary rocket took off with controversial QB Deshaun Watson with an average of $46 Million. Then Aaron Rodgers signed an extension, allowing a $50 Million average in his pockets. Recently, Kyler Murray locked his deal with the Arizona Cardinals. He will now receive an average annual of $46.1 million. Patrick Mahomes is at number four with $45 million.

At the training camp, Patrick Mahomes voices his joy for Murray and the other splashy deals that came forth during the offseason. With his financial state and his 10-year contract, Mahomes seems content.

Mahomes mentions via ChiefsWire, “When I signed my deal, I knew I was going to be pretty set for life regardless of what the market kind of happens. But you just keep playing. Money is one thing, but when you get those Super Bowl rings. At the end of your career, I think that’s going to be what you look back upon. I think I’ve made enough money from the football field and then obviously off of it as well, that it won’t matter at the end of the day.”

Undoubtedly, the market explosion began with Mahomes and has revolutionized ever since. He raised the bar when it came to his value and achieved an unbelievable contract in 2020.

Which new stars can surpass Patrick Mahomes’ contract?

Patrick Mahomes has a fair understanding of contracts in the NFL. It is like the Game of Thrones with the contract deals. He knew his average salary might dip and drift him into the fourth rank. However, the Chiefs QB expects his average pay to fall when passers like Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert sign extensions with their franchises.
