Keyshawn Johnson "guarantees" Patrick Mahomes will leave Joe Burrow's $275,000,000 deal in the dust
Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs just lost to Jared Goff's Detroit Lions, but the debate between the Chiefs quarterback and Cincinnati's Joe Burrow continues.
Burrow recently signed a five-year, $275 million deal, but NFL analyst Keyshawn Johnson expects Mahomes' next contract to surpass that figure.
Here's how the former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver put it on "Undisputed":
"I can guarantee you this: By next season, Patrick Mahomes will be the highest-paid player in NFL history by average and guaranteed money. That's just the way it goes. So I can't say that, because we're looking at a number, at 275, that would suggest that Joe Burrow is better than Mahomes."
"Burrow can't do all the things Patrick Mahomes could do, but Mahomes can do the things that Joe Burrow does and does them well."
Mahomes is currently playing on a deal valued at $450 million over 10 years, while Burrow is playing on a $275 million deal over five years.
Andy Reid's decision leaves Patrick Mahomes fans furious
The Kansas City Chiefs faltered on one of the biggest stages in the NFL: the coveted season opener. In primetime, with the entire NFL fanbase watching, Chiefs coach Andy Reid blinked.
With the Chiefs trailing by a point late in the fourth, Reid elected not once, but twice, to try and convert a fourth down despite having all three timeouts and plenty of time to get a stop.
The Chiefs were on their own side of the field, and based on how their skill positions were playing, had little chance of converting. Nevertheless, Reid kept his offense out on the field and came up cold. One first down by the Lions and the Chiefs were done.
By keeping the ball in Patrick Mahomes' hands, Reid basically indicated that he had no hope in his defense getting a stop despite the Detroit Lions' offense only scoring 14 points over the course of the entire game, not considering the pick-six thrown by Mahomes.
