Patrick Mahomes has become one of the most iconic athletes and people in the Kansas City. He became the first quarterback in NFL history to sign a deal worth half a billion dollars.
Mahomes not only has had an impact on the field by winning a Super Bowl for the city, but he’s also invested a lot in other major sports in the area.
Analyst Colin Cowherd thinks that Mahomes could potentially follow in Michael Jordan’s footsteps and eventually become an owner.
“I mean, give me a break. MJ ended his career and had a relationship with an owner. Jeter did. Peyton Manning, by the way, was all sorts of talking to the Tennessee Titans. I read. He decided he want to do that front office stuff.
“Do you think when Peyton Manning talked to the Titans about the front office, it wasn’t potentially discussed that ‘Hey, can I own like 10 percent’.
“This is what Patrick Mahomes is going to be doing”…
They probably said ‘We don’t want to give it up. We own an NFL team’. I’m just not worked up. I mean, good God, Tom Brady is still playing. And he’s already got a deal with Fox. It’s already done, signed, sealed, delivered.”
Cowherd added that even players like Brady who sign lucrative deals who have star status eventually go on to make big moves after their playing careers.
“So I think when you look at these all time, wealthy legends, and these athletes now are 500 million, 600 million. This is what Patrick Mahomes is going to be doing in 12 years. Hunt family, some family, they’re going to be talking about it and now the hunt family would prefer it’s him and not somebody else.
“But on those yachts and those vacations. Not one person is going to look at Tom Brady’s career in 20 years and go ‘Oh my God! Seven-eight Super Bowls’. Atlanta went to Tampa. But you know at the end of his career, he was talking to the cone or the Dolphins. I just can’t live with that.”
