Summary
On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff reacts to Patrick Mahomes landing another contract extension and breaks down what the deal means for the Kansas City Chiefs, the quarterback market, and the future of the NFL’s biggest dynasty.
John also dives into the situation involving Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza, discussing reports that Cousins has no interest in serving as a mentor and what that dynamic could mean for the quarterback room moving forward.
