He said, “I still don’t think I’m allowed to play basketball. I’m sure baseball is not going to be allowed as well. I know there’s a lot of them. They have like everything from jet skiing too, I don’t know what all the things are. I read a lot of them. It’s pretty much every physical activity you could possibly do. I’ll probably be sticking with football and video games for now.”
Mahomes and the Chiefs agreed to the contract Monday. The quarterback gets $477 million in guaranteed mechanisms and the ability to opt-out at several points in the deal if his mechanisms aren’t exercised. He also has a no-trade clause.
Mahomes had two years remaining on his existing contract with the Chiefs. The 10-year deal takes effect in 2022. He will be 36 when his contract expires.
