Good for him and one of the nicest guys in pro sports too

Patrick Mahomes tops list of largest contracts in sports after signing record-breaking 10-year deal, $503,000,000

From boxing to basketball and football to baseball, a rundown of the biggest current contracts

15 hrs ago2 min read

Major League Baseball may boast the majority of sports' biggest all-time contracts, but the NFL now owns the single largest deal in all of sports, thanks to Patrick Mahomes' reported 10-year extension with the Kansas City Chiefs.

As CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports, the reigning Super Bowl MVP will have a contract specifically designed to reward him with a

percentage of his team's salary cap -- a first in league history. Aside from that feature, he's already set to earn at least the most of any athlete in all of professional sports, or up to $503 million over the next 12 years, the full duration of his deal.

And, again, that's the bare minimum that he'll earn through 2031, according to ESPN. Assuming the NFL salary cap eventually rises in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, Mahomes could easily rake in millions more, easily making him the highest-paid player in American football history -- and an outlier considering so many of sports' biggest earners happen to play baseball.

It is definitely not a game but a business. Hopefully he isn't a one hit wonder because there are no guaranteed contracts in the NFL. Training camp is essentially a tryout session where each player attempts to earn a spot on the roster.

Too bad I won't be able to watch or go to the games anymore if they play the so called "black national anthem"

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
