Patrick Mahomes Breaks His Silence On Impending Contract Talks


Patrick Mahomes has the potential to get the biggest contract in NFL history.

Patrick Mahomes has been the best quarterback in the NFL over the past two seasons. In 2019, Mahomes’ efforts came to fruition as his team went on to win the Super Bowl. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs superstar is up for a contract extension and he is expected to get the payday of a lifetime. Over the past few weeks, there has been speculation as to how much money Mahomes could realistically make.

If Mahomes gets one of the biggest deals ever, he would ultimately be hurting his team’s salary cap which would make it so that they couldn’t afford high-level talent in the future. In a recent interview, Mahomes acknowledged this and said that at the end of the day, he just wants to win as many Super Bowls as possible, since that’s the true measure of success.

“When you look back on your career at the end of your career, you want to look back and see a lot of success, a lot of wins, a lot of Super Bowl wins hopefully — it’s something where I want to look back and see a lot of success,” Mahomes said according to Terez Paylor of Yahoo Sports. “Obviously I want to get a contract, obviously I want to provide for my family for a long time and do everything like that. But I want to make sure I do it the smart way and do it the right way, and so I don’t know exactly which way that is, yet. I know that my people and the Chiefs’ people will talk about it, and will do it at the right time and for the betterment for the team.”

Stay tuned for updates on Mahomes’ contract situation as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Anthony Davis Refuses Lakers Max Extension, Will Go To Free Agency


Davis is hoping to maximize his earnings.

Anthony Davis has been an MVP-caliber player this season and Los Angeles Lakers fans are incredibly happy that the team traded for him. Davis has a one-year player option on his contract that would extend him into the 2020-2021 season. He also had the option of signing a four-year, $146 million extension with the Lakers. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, the Lakers offered Davis the max extension today although he chose to decline it. This means Davis will become a free agent at the end of the season and can sign with whomever he wants.

Lakers fans shouldn’t worry too much about this news as it is simply a formality. As of the summer, Davis will be eligible for a five-year $202 million contract which is significantly more than the extension he was offered.

Davis and LeBron James have had incredible chemistry this season and are looking like a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs. If these two can make a deep run together, it should be a foregone conclusion that Davis will want to re-sign with the Lakers. There have been rumors that he may want to go to the Chicago Bulls although for now, the team simply doesn’t have enough pieces to be an attractive option. 

Considering the circumstances, it’s fair to say the Lakers were expecting this decision. For now, it remains to be seen how the summer will play out.

Brandon Ingram Incredulous Over Recent NBA Contract Extensions


Ingram wants to get paid.

Numerous players from the 2016 NBA Draft have been getting big paydays as of late and Brandon Ingram should be next up on the list. The second overall pick is currently on the New Orleans Pelicans and is hoping to test the market this summer when he becomes a free agent. There are some huge talents on the market and Ingram will be one of them. He’s having one of the best seasons of his career and has opted to not sign an extension. Regardless, he isn’t too impressed with those of his peers who are getting a lot of money.

In a recent interview with ESPN, Ingram spoke about his contract situation and how he’s a lot more deserving than some of the people making big money. In fact, Ingram joked about playing them one-on-one to prove his worth.

“When we talked about the extension, of course, I’m human,” Ingram said  ESPN’s Andrew Lopez. “When I look at other guys, I’m like, ‘This motherf***er got an extension? Oh my god. Man, we can lace up right now and play one-on-one to 15 and this motherf***er won’t score.’ That’s how I looked at it as a competitor.”
