Patrick Mahomes is now the highest paid quarterback in the NFL and it's not even close.

Remember that Eli Manning dude who just recently hung up his cleats? Yeah, he made a lot of dough during his career. $252.3 million to be more specific. but that's just a sniff of what Mahomes will make. The 25-year-old is scheduled to earn at least $175 million more, which is pretty flippin' insane when you think about it.

 

Jeez... think about how much money that is. $503 million is higher than the 2019 value of 12 different NHL teams. 12!

 

Mahomes already has a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP and regular season MVP under his belt, so no one can really complain about this one. We just can't even imagine what the next Patrick Mahomes (if there is one) is going to receive when they eventually enter the league. Trevor Lawrence... billion dollar contract anyone?!?!?!?!

Jk, but who knows.
