It\u2019s a question that\u2019s likely crossed many minds, and NFL Podcaster John Middlekauff recently dove into the discussion. Despite the consistent elite comparisons, one would find it interesting to learn that Mahomes isn\u2019t even among the top 5 highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL in 2024.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-wp.thesportsrush.com\/2024\/04\/b266c5a0-yagya-fis-35.jpg?format=auto&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"Should Other High-Paid QBs Take 30% Pay Cuts In Relation To Patrick Mahomes?  NFL Podcaster Weighs In - The SportsRush\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-2\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">John Middlekauf delved into this topic in a recent episode of the\u00a0\u20183 &amp; Out\u2019\u00a0podcast, clarifying that while many may ponder such ideas, the NFL, and the world at large, don\u2019t operate in such a manner. Moreover, as the quarterback\u2019s image gains prominence, their pay naturally rises over time. He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"article-content-block-3\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"blockquote\"><p>\u201c<em>In theory, 100%, he (Patrick Mahomes) should be the highest-paid player by a substantial margin. Right? I totally believe that, but that\u2019s not the way the business works. We can talk about it and I\u2019ve been talking about it forever, like, there should be a second tier like the Dak Prescotts and the Kirk Cousins. If Mahomes and Lamar are making 45-50 (million a year), those guys should make 30 and so on<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-4\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Adding to the conversation, John Middlekauf brought up the business side of the\u00a0NFL\u00a0and TV ratings, using the NBA as an example. He pointed out how\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0and Stephen Curry draw in huge viewership compared to Nikola Jokic, the league\u2019s defending MVP. For example, Last year\u2019s NBA Finals between the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat saw a big drop in viewership, around 10 million.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is Patrick Mahomes the only NFL QB worth max money? | 3 &amp; Out Mailbag\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5F1Qz54FGxs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-5\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">So, it makes sense that LeBron and Curry should earn more, considering they bring in more revenue. Middlekauf rounded off by growing on the idea of having tiers for players to determine their pay, but he acknowledged that the league is unlikely to entertain such discussions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-6\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">In reality, unless the league establishes a board to oversee player compensation, creating these tiers based on talent would remain a distant dream. Ultimately, each team decides what they believe is the right pay for their stars, and that\u2019s not something up for debate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Patrick Mahomes Ranks Seventh In the Highest-Paid QBs List For 2024<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-7\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">The NFL quarterback market has seen a skyrocketing climb over the past decade, and it\u2019s not slowing down. Moreover, it makes sense because the quarterback is the most crucial position, but finding top-tier talent is tough. So, teams are shelling out big bucks for any decent quarterbacks they can find. As we gear up for the 2024 season, let\u2019s check out the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league, per\u00a0Front Office Sports.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1.\u00a0<strong>Joe Burrow<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Cincinnati Bengals,\u00a0<em>$55 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>2.\u00a0<strong>Justin Herbert<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Los Angeles Chargers,\u00a0<em>$52.5 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>3.\u00a0<strong>Lamar Jackson<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Baltimore Ravens,\u00a0<em>$52 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>4.\u00a0<strong>Jalen Hurts<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Philadelphia Eagles,\u00a0<em>$51 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>5.\u00a0<strong>Kyler Murray<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Arizona Cardinals,\u00a0<em>$46.1 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>6.\u00a0<strong>Deshaun Watson<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Cleveland Browns,\u00a0<em>$46 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>T-7.\u00a0<strong>Kirk Cousins<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Atlanta Falcons,\u00a0<em>$45 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>T-7.\u00a0<strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<em><strong>Kansas City Chiefs, $45 million per year<\/strong><\/em><\/li>\n<li>9.\u00a0<strong>Josh Allen<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Buffalo Bills,\u00a0<em>$43 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>T-10.\u00a0<strong>Daniel Jones<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 New York Giants,\u00a0<em>$40 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>T-10.\u00a0<strong>Matthew Stafford<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Los Angeles Rams,\u00a0<em>$40 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<li>T-10.\u00a0<strong>Dak Prescott<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Dallas Cowboys,\u00a0<em>$40 million per year<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"article-content-block-8\" data-type=\"content\" data-variant=\"p\">Patrick Mahomes, widely regarded as the top quarterback in the league based on talent, doesn\u2019t crack the top five highest-paid quarterbacks heading into the 2024 season. It\u2019s a reminder that some players prioritize team success over individual earnings. After all, stacking up Super Bowl rings might just be more valuable than a hefty paycheck.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"chapters-container\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should other high-paid quarterbacks consider taking 30% pay cuts in light of Patrick Mahomes\u2019 salary?
