Here's what Bears could buy with Patrick Mahomes' new $500 million extension

Share

Pat Mahomes made 500 million dollars today. It is an unfathomable amount of money unless you're Patrick Mahomes, who's very seriously fathoming it on whatever fancy yacht he's hopefully on right now. (This, to me, is the only conceivable way to properly celebrate earning the largest contract in major league sports history?) 

And, as far too many Bears fans non-ironically pointed out today, Ryan Pace saved the McCaskeys $500 million today as well. Never hurts to be in the black right?! Just for the sake of this exercise, let's imagine Ryan Pace *wants* to spend $500 million this week. After giving the first 200 to Jimmy Graham (sorry, I'm sorry), where does that leave Pace? Here's what 500 million could get the Bears: 

- Three and a half Khalil Mack contracts, all at once
- 17 Mitch Trubisky contracts, whatever that entails 
- 20 Nick Foles contracts, this exercise is a huge bummer 
- 5 more renovations of Halas Hall, there can never be enough sand pits 
- The Athletic, I can already see the Why I'm Joining headline now
- His own NHL team
69 million Soldier Field hot dogs 
- 4 months rent in Gold Coast 
- 5% of all $2 bills currently in circulation
- 6% of the team that employs him 

Want to guess what, as of Monday afternoon, $500 million can't buy him?!
