Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, the little guy, was there too, along with Brittany’s brother-in-law Jackson and mother-in-law Randi. Everyone’s presence made Sterling’s day extra special. Reflecting the overflowing love and excitement for Sterling’s upcoming third year, Brittany shared a very wholesome video, along with a note in the caption that said, “We celebrated our Sterling Skye today! We love you, baby girl.”

Sterling looked magical in her light pink dress adorned with red poppy patterns, complemented by white leggings, a pink headband, and matching wings. Her little friends, also in pink wings, enjoyed the various attractions, including a white bounce house and a white and pink-themed ball pit.

A whimsical scene for the celebration was set with the decorations, from the matching floral arrangements to the pastel green cake with pink butterfly accents. Brittany and Patrick, along with their guests, dressed casually for the occasion, embracing the joy and simplicity of the moment.

Fans’ reactions to the Instagram video were overwhelmingly positive, with many with love and good vibes. One fan couldn’t hide their excitement, commenting, “So fun! Happy birthday, sweet girl!!! ,” clearly touched by the joyous celebration.

Feeding Littles, a well-known organization, made a special appearance in the comments too, leaving a note for Brittany, “Happy birthday to your sweet Sterling! .”

Amidst the shower of love for Sterling, there was also a playful nod towards her brother, Bronze, with a comment that read, “Mini Pat keeps a mean mug!” It was a lighthearted moment that brought a little chuckle, reminding everyone of the unique personalities within the Mahomes family.

Sterling’s TV Time

Last September, Patrick Mahomes shared a little peek into family life that’s as relatable as it is adorable. Imagine the surprise of little Sterling, at the age of two, seeing herself and her parents on TV for the first time. According to Patrick, she’d freeze up, wide-eyed, probably wondering how she made it onto the screen.

But it’s not just about the surprise; it’s about recognition too. Sterling knows when it’s her mom and dad on the screen, calling out to them excitedly, according to SheKnows. It’s these moments that make the off-field life of the Mahomes family so special.

Travis Kelce started by downplaying the significance of the Eagles’ win, suggesting that it was expected because “everybody saw it coming.” However, Jason jumped in, saying it was actually a huge deal because the odds were against them, making it a historic win for Philly. He highlighted how the underdog city of Philadelphia rallied behind the team, making the win even more special. Jason stated,

“Super Bowl 52 was an embodiment of the city of Philadelphia. It was like a team that was possessed by its inhabitants. An underdog city came out of nowhere, and won a f*cking a Super Bowl for the first time in its existence. This isn’t even f*cking close. I feel embarrassed that we’re even talking about this.”

Travis then shared his experience of how intense Chiefs playoffs journey was, mentioning how they were trailing by a lot in every game but still managed to pull through. But Jason wasn’t having it and kept pushing the idea that the Eagles’ win was something really special.

Travis countered by jokingly acknowledging that Jason defeated Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, which is the only feat that stands out as the highlight of his victory. Immediately cutting his younger brother, Jason admitted that Travis has an impressive career achievements, including more awards and All-Pro selections, and humorously expressed that Travis is also the better looking of the two. However, he pleaded for the recognition of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ Super Bowl win as his one “goddamn thing.”.

Jason Kelce Is Among the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’

Even though Jason Kelce playfully admitted that his brother Travis might be the better looking, Jason himself isn’t lacking in the looks department either. In fact, just last November, Jason was named as a finalist for People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” award, stealing the spotlight from his brother for a change.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… https://t.co/Kzm0xD2aG9

— Jason Kelce (@JasonKelce) November 8, 2023

Jason Kelce found himself in impressive company as a finalist for People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” award alongside big names like Timothee Chalamet, Jamie Foxx, and Usher. However, it was Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey who ultimately clinched the title. Despite not winning, Jason graciously shared the news on his own, captioning it with the wise words, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder…”

Jason Kelce was definitely a strong contender, given his huge fan following and his good looks, especially with that perfect beard of his. Despite any self-doubt he might have, he’s always been admired for his appearance. Now, with talks circulating about his retirement after 13 seasons in the NFL, fans are already voicing their longing to see Jason grace the field for just a little while longer.

Due to his 2023 cap number, Chiefs DL Chris Jones’ projected franchise tag would be $32 million – instead of the regular $19.7M – making him an unlikely tag candidate. https://t.co/0bLVyZZgsm

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 18, 2024

Schefter also highlighted a list of potential franchise or transition tag candidate across the league, including players like LB Josh Allen, RB Saquon Barkley, and WR Tee Higgins. However, the hefty cost associated with Jones’ franchise tag stands out, especially considering the comparatively lower salaries of other defensive tackles like Justin Madubuike and Christian Wilkins on the list.

Starting Tuesday and lasting through Tuesday, March 5, NFL teams can designate franchise or transition players. Tag candidates include:

LB Josh Allen
RB Saquon Barkley
DE Brian Burns
S Kyle Dugger
WR Tee Higgins
RB Josh Jacobs
CB Jaylon Johnson
DT Justin… pic.twitter.com/nAVdkOut9h

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) February 18, 2024

For instance, while Jones has an average salary of $19.5 million, Madubuike’s average salary is only $1.2 million, and Wilkins’ sits at $3.8 million. The disparity in salaries underscores the financial challenge the Chiefs face in retaining Jones while addressing other needs within their roster.

Losing Chris Jones would be tough for the Chiefs, but using the franchise tag on him again would limit their options. Negotiating a new deal with him is tricky, especially with the tag costing a whopping $32 million.

Despite the challenges, keeping Jones is vital for the defense. He has been a beast on the field, racking up 26 sacks, 74 tackles, and 58 QB hits in the last two seasons. Moreover, after his third Super Bowl win, he clearly expressed his desire to stay with the team.

Chris Jones’ Contract Situation

Jones had some contract drama last offseason, holding out for 51 days because he wanted a better deal. Eventually, he ended up signing a restructured contract with the Chiefs for one year, worth $19.5 million. This was a short-term fix to address his immediate concerns.

Now, as he approaches his 30th birthday in July, Jones is looking for a longer-term contract that reflects his value as one of the top defensive players in the league. According to Spotrac, Jones could potentially sign a three-year deal worth around $85.5 million. This would give him an average annual value (AAV) of $28.4 million, making him one of the highest-paid defensive players in the NFL.

Moreover, if he signs this hypothetical contract, he would be ranked as the second highest paid defensive tackle, just behind Rams Aaron Donald. However, the Chiefs face a tough choice regarding Jones’ future. Whether they opt for the franchise tag or explore other options, the outcome will shape their resoter strategy for the upcoming season.

What made the Chiefs get hold of their third Vince Lombardi Trophy in the last five years is Mahomes recognizing the value of learning from mistakes and swiftly making changes. After a defeat against the Denver Broncos in Week 8, Patrick himself honestly noted that the entire team’s performance is an issue. However, he didn’t let this obstacle limit him and constantly found ways to overcome the opponents.

Mahomes regular season stats included 4,183 yards, a 67.2% completion rate, 27 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. In rushing, he ran 66 times for 333 yards and 3 touchdowns. The regular season was statistically worse as we witnessed drops in metrics like expected points added per dropback, success rate, increased pressure, and a diminished explosive play rate compared to previous seasons.

However, Patrick Mahomes turned things around in the postseason, even with him being named the MVP of Super Bowl LVIII. In three playoff matches, he showed outstanding skill, finishing with a 68% pass completion rate and 718 yards. Mahomes scored four touchdowns with no interceptions, resulting in a passer rating of 100.7, as per ESPN.

He showed the level of greatness at which he plays after leading the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl win in six seasons. As a matter of fact, he justified his $45 million salary with spectacular plays and superhuman throws that will likely mark his future Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Patrick Mahomes might falter at times, however, he consistently delivers in crucial moments.

How Much Is Patrick Mahomes Set to Earn in the Upcoming Years?

Patrick Mahomes initially signed a $450 million 10-year deal in 2020; however, in September 2023, the Chiefs and Mahomes adjusted the contract to match top quarterback deals, resulting in a $210.6 million agreement for 2023-2026. As a result, Mahomes has an average annual contract value of $52.65 million until 2026.

According to Spotrac, a resource that keeps track of players’ contracts and salaries, Mahomes earned $59.4 million in the 2023-24 NFL regular season, along with an extra $1.3 million in playoff bonuses. Moving on to the upcoming years, this is how Mahomes’ base salary, bonuses, and cap hit affect the Kansas City Chiefs.

After his contract negotiations, Mahomes displayed that he prefers the team’s overall improvement as he made sure to leave cap space for signing other players. He got a larger upfront payment but plans to revisit and renegotiate at a certain point. However, even with the negotiations, he doesn’t exceed the highest-paid player in the league’s average annual value.

So the question remains — was Patrick Mahomes worth the half-billion-dollar deal? If we look at his 3 Lombardies in his sixth season as a starter, it can be said with certainty that he more than just bore fruit. And without a doubt, any NFL franchise would pay double the amount, if they could, for similar results.

It is indeed one of a kind and borderline disgusting for most of the fans. During an appearance on the “ManningCast,” last year, Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes disclosed his special pre-game ritual involving consistently wearing red underwear since 2017. The two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning couldn’t stop laughing after he heard what Patrick had to say. He badgered him with questions like, “Is it a thong? Is it a g-string?”

The ritual started during his first year in the NFL when his wife, Brittany Mahomes, gave him this underwear as a gift. Although he only played one game in 2017, the Chiefs went on to win the AFC West, and Patrick believed it was the red underwear that helped him through it.

It’s true: @PatrickMahomes has worn the same pair of red underwear for every game of his career pic.twitter.com/czOCMOOaas

— Omaha Productions (@OmahaProd) November 14, 2023

The one question each fan had in their mind was if the underwear was worn down, or rather if Patrick washed it after games or not. Mahomes reassured the fans, and Eli, that the underwear is only worn during games to prevent unnecessary wear and tear. However, he confessed that the pair remains untouched during a winning streak, noting,

“I only wear them for game day though. They’re not too worn down. They’re not like these nasty,” followed by, “I wash them every once in a while… If we’re on a hot streak I can’t wash them. I just gotta keep them rolling… As long as I’m winning football games, I’ll keep the superstition going.”

So fans, don’t fret over his pre-game rituals being gross. He does wash them, potentially when they start smelling. It might sound unconventional to some, but he is indeed getting results. Notably, Patrick has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles in the past 5 years.

Do You Know Why Patrick Mahomes Wiggles His Fingers?

The exact reason behind Patrick Mahomes’ habit of wiggling his fingers between plays is unknown, as he has never openly discussed it. Some believe it could be a signal to his teammates to hurdle up or just a celebration indicating his finger magic.

Former Kansas City defensive tackle Khalen Saunders feels, the gesture indicates that Patrick Mahomes is ready for the next play just after he makes a good play.

According to Distractify, Patrick’s practice of moving his fingers during breaks in play is comparable to the celebratory antics NFL players display following touchdowns or big plays. As long as he doesn’t clarify, the finger-wiggling remains a unique part of his on-field persona, possibly mixing celebration and subtle communication with teammates.

So, what’s the plan? Can the Buccaneers secure his future with a hefty extension, or risk losing him to the open market? As it turns out, Tampa Bay has a chance to free up some cash by extending Mike Evans before Monday.

Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports states in his article that the team could save a hefty $7.387 million on the 2024 salary cap. If they miss this deadline, they risk having to take a hit on their cap space due to void years in Evans’ current contract.

The #Buccaneers can create $7.4 million in cap space if they sign Mike Evans to a long-term contract before Monday, per @jjones9

Will the Bucs get it done? pic.twitter.com/iyQYJ85ySI

— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) February 16, 2024

Mike Evans has been a rock-solid player for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ever since they picked him in 2014, he’s been smashing records in all categories. He’s had ten seasons with over 1,000 receiving yards in a row! And last year was one of his best yet. He caught 79 passes, racked up 1,255 yards, and scored 13 touchdowns in 17 games, helping his team make it to the playoffs.

The five-time Pro Bowler has basically rewritten the Buccaneers’ receiving records. Now, as the 30-year-old WR heads into his 11th season, he is looking to secure a lucrative contract.

There is no doubt that Evans is in high demand. Other major rival teams are already eyeing him up. Why? Because he is a proven talent who brings leadership to the locker room. So, if the Buccaneers don’t act fast, they might lose him to another team.

Mike Evans is likely gunning for a contract that puts him at the top of the wide receiver salary chart. His current deal, which he signed in 2018, is worth $82.5 million over five years. But he is looking to up the ante.

Comparing him to other wide receivers isn’t straightforward. His performance speaks for itself, but he is a bit older (30) than some of the other big names in the league. In the end, it’s a balancing act for the Buccaneers. They want to keep Evans and also need to be mindful of their cap space. It’s a tough decision, but one thing’s for sure – if they let Evans walk, they will be losing a key piece of their puzzle.

If Not Tampa Bay, Where Else Can Mike Evans Land?

Teams like the New Orleans Saints, the Carolina Panthers, and the Chicago Bears could all be eyeing Mike Evans if he hits free agency. With the Saints facing uncertainty around Michael Thomas and the Panthers needing to reinforce their offensive weapons for Bryce Young, Evans could offer the size and reliability they are seeking.

In New Orleans, Evans could fill the void left by Thomas, providing a strong presence in the red zone and in one-on-one matchups. Meanwhile, the Panthers might see Evans as the perfect replacement for DJ Moore, who has moved to the Bears.

For the Bears, finding a No. 2 receiver to pair with their current roster is a top priority. Evans’ ability to make plays down the field could be just what they need to boost their offense. With Darnell Mooney’s regression last year, adding a player like Evans could inject new life into Chicago’s passing game and provide their quarterback, potentially drafted at No. 1, with a reliable target.

Other teams like the New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs, and Jacksonville Jaguars could also be in the mix for Evans. The Giants are in search of a true No. 1 receiver to build their offense around, and Evans’ track record of consistent performance could make him an attractive option.

The defending champs, who have been lacking in the receiving corps all season, would be looking to add a threat on the outside. The same goes for the Jaguars, who have been separately vying for a Super Bowl appearance since its inception and perhaps Evans could be their answer.

Editor’s Note — As per recent reports, Mike Evans and the Buccaneers could not reach a contract extension before the Monday deadline. The team might have ended the stalemate with Evans since their two veterans, Baker Mayfield and Antoine Winfield Jr., are also set to hit free agency next month.

Mahomes after winning two in a row is once again setting his gaze to a third which no team or quarterback has ever achieved before. If the Chiefs QB is successful in doing so, then he will be in a race of his own, which also made a former teammate of Brady wonder what would happen next.

In a recent conversation between Robert Griffin III and Super Bowl LIII champion Jason McCourty at the RG3 and The Ones podcast, the two NFL veterans were discussing how the narrative of the NFL GOAT could change the very next year.

If Patrick Mahomes and the @Chiefs become the first NFL team to 3-Peat, then Mahomes doesn’t need to win 7 rings to become the Greatest of All-Time.@JasonMcCourty believes Brady beating him head to head in the Super Bowl is tough to ignore.

Full Convo https://t.co/ssYrODCzTk https://t.co/YXEFctFPoi pic.twitter.com/Q73UPrBLlo

— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) February 18, 2024

“Brady has seven Super Bowls. So we’re putting a mark for Mahomes that he has to at least get seven,” said McCourty. “The fact that Brady beat him in a Super Bowl you have to hold that against him as well.”

He added: “But if they go three-peat and they’re the only team and he’s the only quarterback to win three in a row, I think that changes the conversation. If he wins three in a row and he maybe doesn’t get to seven, say he gets to six, five. But three of them happen in a row, I think you can still have that conversation of, if he’s The Greatest Of All Time. The only thing is Brady beat him.”

That said, the GOAT debate would still persist for a long time as Brady himself was in a race of his own since no other QB has even gotten close to the amount of success that he has had. And Mahomes will have to do something extraordinary to get in the same conversation as him.

Will Patrick Mahomes Settle the GOAT Debate With a Three-Peat?

Only eight quarterbacks in the league’s history have ever won back-to-back Super Bowls with Brady and Mahomes being two of them. However, no one has ever had a three-peat in the NFL, let alone replicating a Michael Jordan-esque two-time three-peat.

If Patrick Mahomes successfully becomes the first ever quarterback to do so, he would certainly be named the most dominant QB of his era. Not to mention gracing the GOAT debate next to Tom Brady. It would then become a conversation of intensity vs. longevity.

In the picture, Jenna poses before a barrage of pink, white, and golden balloons, proudly displaying her shiny rock and a smile that lit up the entire room. Take a look:

When Did Brock Purdy Propose to Jenna?

On the back of an NFC Championship appearance in his debut season and just ahead of a season full of hope, Brock Purdy popped the question on a pier in Saint Cloud on July 2, 2023. Surrounded by their families — cheering from a nearby boat — the NFL star shared a carousel of engagement pictures with a touching caption that said,

“My Jenna girl forever. I can’t wait to be your husband and grow together in Christ. Here’s to forever babe. I love you JB!“

Jenna also expressed her excitement in a later post with a set of snapshots beside a beach. In the note she penned, Jenna voiced her excitement to share the Purdy name in the future. Well, she has to wait no longer. The date is finally set, and even Jenna shared her excitement by sharing her soon-to-be sister-in-law’s Instagram story with a few exclamation marks. Safe to say, she’s excited. Purdy is surely just as excited but hasn’t yet shared or posted an update on his social media.

It’s also worth mentioning that Jenna concluded the 2023 NFL season with a few memories from the sidelines.

The suggestion to acquire Mike Evans in the offseason is met with optimism amidst discussions among Chiefs fans. Evans’ ability to attack the ball on deep routes and contribute in the red zone aligns with the team’s goals. However, another fan acknowledged the potential downside and noted that acquiring Evans might lead to losing players like Snead or Jones.

I know some Chiefs fans may disagree, but get me Mike Evans this offseason and another WR in Rd 1-2 and tell me this team doesn’t have a chance to go 20-0.

Evans ALWAYS attacks the ball on deep routes and in the RZ. Kelce and Rice are already RZ threats, too.

Only downside?

— Blane Howard (@blanehoward) February 17, 2024

The trade-off between gaining Evans’ strengths and potential departures is a point of deliberation for Chiefs management and supporters alike. Fans further offered various opinions on potential offseason changes for the Kansas City Chiefs.

A fan projects stats from possible new players, highlighting the significance of Evans, Kelce, and Rice. The wish for a mix of seasoned players and up-and-coming talent is clear, with preferences spanning from established names such as Pittman to a strategic idea influenced by the Packers, proposing Tyler Lockett as a valuable addition.

I want Evans and Pittman. I think Pittman is a stud just don’t have a qb that can get him to his potential

Rashee Rice probably doesn’t have a 1000 yard season next year.

But Evans probably goes for 1200, Kelce for 1100, and Rice for 800.

Pacheco goes for 1000 combined as well.

— Blane Howard (@blanehoward) February 17, 2024

They might be able to do this and sign LJ/CJ but would have to mortgage the future. Is it worth it to win 3 in a row (or more)?

— Brian_F (@ChiefsFanbjf) February 17, 2024

I prefer the Packers way (draft and develop). Thus, my choice would be Tyler Lockett. He immediately becomes the best deep ball guy on our team, was a KSU guy, and is a perfect 1-2 year guy we can sign for a good discount, and he is a GAMER.

— Dragon (@TheMeatDragon) February 18, 2024

IF we examine the Chiefs’ receiving group, the main issue is improving the consistency in catching passes. Bringing in Mike Evans is seen as a way to add a dependable, larger target who can make difficult catches. The potential combination of Evans and Kelce could create problems for opposing defenses, giving Patrick Mahomes more options.

Kansas City Chiefs Offseason Preview: What Next?

When thinking about the Chiefs’ offseason, their success is attributed to their quarterback and Brett Veach’s savvy roster-building. The team’s future is looking bright with Mahomes leading the way and a strategy focused on maintaining success.

The Chiefs already have the success formula for winning, that is Patrick Mahomes and a strong defense. Their defensive excellence was evident in the playoffs, ranking second in points allowed and sack rate. They consistently controlled opponents, especially in key moments, conceding under 28 points in all 20 games played.

Leading up to the Super Bowl, their defense made it hard for the opponents to score in the fourth quarter, with only six points scored collectively in the last six games. On the other hand, it is evident that the Chiefs need to upgrade their offense, particularly at wide receiver, to better support Mahomes.

They led the league in drops with 44 and only averaged 21.8 points per game. Mahomes’ lowest output has been 28.2 points. He also had career lows in yards per attempt (7.0), touchdown percentage (4.5), and yards per game (261.4). So, it is maybe time to get in some fan recommendations.

According to Spotrac, the Chiefs have about $24 million in cap space, dropping to about $15.75 million after accounting for signing draft picks. However, a large portion might need to go towards Sneed, Jones, or new players. While there is interest in signing a notable wide receiver such as Tee Higgins or Mike Evans, Kansas City is more focused on developing their own talent as per their plan, now.
