The pitch was enticing: sunshine, a fresh start, and an enormous paycheck. But for Mahomes, the decision wasn’t about comfort or cash — it was about loyalty to the Chiefs and their fans.
“When Daniel called me, I honestly thought it was a joke,” Mahomes laughed, leaning back in his locker after a grueling Wednesday practice. “Seventy million is a lot of money, but I told him, ‘Bro, I’m not leaving my legacy here for a different color jersey.’”

Carlson, reached by phone in Las Vegas, admitted he tried everything to persuade Mahomes.
“I told him about the weather, the lifestyle, the fans. Heck, I even mentioned the nightlife in Vegas,” Carlson said with a chuckle. “But Patrick hit me with, ‘I bleed red and gold.’ And I knew right then — he wasn’t going anywhere.”
Inside the Chiefs’ training facility, Mahomes’s teammates reacted with admiration. Tight end Travis Kelce raised an eyebrow when asked about it.
“You don’t see that every day,” Kelce said. “Most guys would jump at that kind of money. But Patrick’s here to win. He’s got his heart in Kansas City.”
Chiefs fans wasted no time reacting on social media. One post read:
“This is why Patrick is our guy. Loyalty like this is priceless.”
At a local Kansas City BBQ joint, fans watching the announcement on TV burst into chants of, “CHIEFS KINGDOM! RISE UP!”
When asked if he ever had second thoughts about turning down such a life-changing payday, Mahomes’s answer was crystal clear.
“Nope. Kansas City is more than a team — it’s family,” Mahomes said with conviction. “And I’m not leaving my family. I’m here to fight, to win, and to make sure this team keeps shining brighter than ever.”
For Chiefs Kingdom, it wasn’t just a contract decision — it was a love letter to the city, the fans, and the legacy of Red and Gold.
