KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Chiefs have signed quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a four-year rookie contract.
Kansas City traded its first- and third-round picks this year and its first-round pick next year to the Buffalo Bills to grab the Texas Tech quarterback with the 10th overall selection.
It was the first time Kansas City had taken a quarterback in the first round since Todd Blackledge in 1983.
The Chiefs sent the No. 27 and No. 91 overall picks in this year’s draft to Buffalo in order to acquire a successor to Alex Smith. The veteran starter has two years remaining on his contract, though Smith becomes inexpensive to release after next season.
