Schefter later wrote on Instagram that Mahomes’ deal is worth more than $400 million, “though it’s still uncertain how much over. So the lowest his 12 year-deal could be worth is $427.6 million. But will be more.”

Mahomes signed with Chiefs in 2017 after being the overall number 10 draft pick.
Since that time, he’s helped take his team to the super bowl where he rallied his teammates to beat the 49ers, 31-20 during Super Bowl LIV.
Fair to say this news is going to make Chiefs’ fans very happy.
