In order to win three straight, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are serious.
After defeating the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Big Game the previous season, Kansas City became the first team since the 2004 New England Patriots to win back-to-back world championships.
The Chiefs have a chance to accomplish an incredible feat of winning three straight Super Bowl titles as they enter the upcoming season.
Starting with quarterback Mahomes, Kansas City is already taking steps to give itself the best opportunity of taking home another Lombardi Trophy.
The Chiefs are reportedly renegotiating their QB1’s deal in order to free up an extra $21.6 million in salary cap space.
The club will have far greater flexibility to recruit free agents this offseason because to the reworked contract, which was agreed well before the actual opening of free agency on March 13.
Before Mahomes’ revised contract was finalized, the Chiefs had almost no cap room, and he was supposedly going to cost more than $58 million against it.
But his new deal now affords the organisation much more wiggle room when it comes to adding pieces and strengthening ahead of their run at a three-peat – which is bad news for the rest of the NFL.
Mahomes signed a historic 10-year, $450 million contract extension back in 2020.
However, since then, the Chiefs have reworked his contract two other times to create more cap space.
It’s unclear what KC will do next, but they need to improve their wideout room following the disappointing seasons of Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney as well as the release of Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Two Super Bowl victors who were instrumental in last month’s victory in Las Vegas have also been allowed to depart.
