Adam Schefter was scooped on the Patrick Mahomes contract news and it wasn’t Ian Rapoport winning the war of sources against Schefty. It was reportedly a Kansas City liquor store employee who had the big news this afternoon. Katie Camlin, an employee at Plaza Liquor, tweeted this afternoon that a Chiefs front office employee came in and “bought six bottles of Dom Perignon. Said there’s a big signing today.”
The employee said it wasn’t Chris Jones getting a new contract so that didn’t leave many options, it had to be Patrick Mahomes. And then just before 3 ET, Schefter dropped the Mahomes bomb on social media.
And there you have it, Katie is officially a Chiefs Insider®. She’s still trying to deal with all the attention that comes with being an Insider® so please don’t overwhelm her with tweets about other Chiefs signings — don’t forget they have next to zero cap space left.
Update: Adam Schefter has sent his congratulations to Katie for scooping him on this one.

Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes have reached agreement on a 10-year — 10-year! — contract extension that ties him to Kansas City through the 2031 season, league sources tell ESPN.

Im very overwhelmed and stressed out by the attention; I was worried about getting in trouble at work. Everything is fine but my anxiety is through the roof

I still can’t believe Shefty criticized the NFL for moving ahead in its virtual draft because of the Coronavirus. I lost a lot of respect for him that day. And now he loses out to a liquor store clerk. How the mighty have fallen…
Mahomes pulled a Bryce Harper. Except Mahomes already got his ring. May get another. Good luck paying other players when the salary cap begins to retract.
Empty football stadiums won’t pay Patrick’s salary. Low tv ratings won’t either. Kneeling and two national anthems won’t bring in fans or make them wanna watch.
Maybe $500 replica jersey sales to Inner city poor kids will do it.
When Chinese slaves stop making Nike shoes and underwear, how much will a Mahomes jersey cost?
Asking for a friend.
