Patrick Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs at the end of his junior season at Texas Tech. He signed his rookie contract at $16.4 million, fully guaranteed and a $10 million signing bonus. Though these numbers weren’t very extraordinary for the NFL, the Chiefs raised the bar in terms of contracts.
In 2020, they handed Mahomes a 10-year contract worth a whopping $450 million that keeps him in Kansas till 2031. Mahomes received a $10 million signing bonus and his contract also offers him around $140 million in guaranteed earnings. These numbers make his average annual salary $45 million. Some ridiculous numbers. While he is yet to receive most of this money penned down for him, he definitely is set for a wealthy future.
Currently, Mahomes is worth $40 million. This comes from the salary the Chiefs pay him and also from the multiple brands he endorses.

Joe Burrow’s Net worth
On the other hand, Burrow signed a 4 year $36.2 million contract when the Bengals drafted him. He received a $23 million signing bonus and his entire contract value is guaranteed money.

Currently, the Bengals quarterback is worth $12 million and this number will just keep growing exponentially.
While Mahomes has received his big career contract, Burrow is due of his renewal. His renewal could be as big as Mahomes or even bigger as he continues to impress on the field. Burrow has brought back the playoffs to Cincinnati after a long drought and has become a franchise favorite in no time.
The duo will take the field in what will be a fireworks show. While their value keeps increasing by the minute, their numbers on the field on Sunday could determine a lot of how these off-field numbers look in the coming future.
