Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season after losing in the Super Bowl last year to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Following being denied for their bid to three-peat as NFL champions, the Chiefs have just one goal. They want to get back to the big game and win it again. Mahomes has been willing to do anything he can to help reach that goal.
A scenario could come up soon where Mahomes has to restructure his deal to help Kansas City financially. Just like Tom Brady did throughout his career, Mahomes is in a fairly unique situation where his decisions could dictate the team’s future.
During a recent appearance on the “Up & Adams Show,” NFL insider James Palmer spoke out about Mahomes’ future and his contract. He believes that Mahomes will will find with any changes that need to be made in the future.

“I think Patrick (Mahomes), like I mentioned the comparison to (Tom) Brady, the amount of money they make off the field, they put into account, and what they do in terms of hamstringing a team on the field in terms of salary cap,” Palmer said. “I would say, we know this contract is so unique compared to every other deal in the NFL, with the length of it, with the terms. The relationship between Patrick and the front office and the constant communication of, Are you happy? Are you good? Where you’re at is very good, and he will always be compensated accordingly. But I do know that he thinks of things a little bit differently. I think he’ll be completely fine with what’s to come.”

Many times throughout Brady’s career, he would restructure his deal to free up enough space for his team to make moves around him. Mahomes could do the same.
Currently, Mahomes is playing on a massive 10-year, $450 million contract. He also has a huge amount of deals off the field to bring in even more cash flow.
If a scenario emerges where the Chiefs need to free up money to remain Super Bowl contenders, Mahomes seems likely to work with the franchise to make that happen. He’s all about winning and would likely do whatever it takes to keep winning.

Last season, Mahomes put together another good year. He completed 67.5 percent of his pass attempts for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Mahomes also ran for 307 yards and two more scores.
While it wasn’t his best season, he’s still one of the most feared quarterbacks in the NFL.
No major reports have come out about Kansas City trying to re-work Mahomes’ contract, but it would not be surprising to see a contract change happen at some point in the near future.
