Patrick Mahomes is confident he will eventually sign a long-term contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.

"I want to be a Chief for a long time," Mahomes said Friday. "I want to have a contract that says that and then I can go out there and know I have that security and everything like that. I understand and trust the Chiefs' organization and everybody in it will handle it the right way. I trust my representation that they're going to ease my mind and let me go out there and just love the game that I've loved playing.

"Whenever it happens, it happens."

The Chiefs have sent mixed signals recently regarding their urgency to do a contract extension for Mahomes.
