Patrick Mahomes' new deal adds two years and about $239 million in 'new money,' producing a flashy APY (~$119M) that far exceeds the value delivered at signing. The piece argues this inflates the contract via the so-called 'new-money' analysis, noting that the old deal is replaced and the true signing value is lower.
