Star quarterbacks around the NFL have been getting paid lately, with some of the best and brightest at the position resetting the market repeatedly.
Recently, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts have all inked new deals, making them among the wealthiest players in the league.
A few years ago, Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes reset the market by agreeing to a massive deal with the storied franchise.

No quarterback in the league is more deserving of the money he’s paid than Mahomes, who has proved time and time again that he’s the best player in the NFL.
As long as Mahomes continues to play at a high level for the Chiefs while competing for Super Bowl titles on an annual basis, he’ll continue to get paid that way, as Kansas City will want him to feel valued, which he likely does at this point in time.
Fortunately for Mahomes, the Chiefs were able to get back on track in Week 2, as they bounced back from the season-opening loss to the Detroit Lions with a win over the Jaguars.
Although the Jaguars gave the Chiefs some trouble on Sunday, in what was far from a pretty performance for either team, Kansas City was able to get the win.
