The Kansas City Chiefs may not rush into a contract extension with Patrick Mahomes.

Clark Hunt publicly revealed the Chiefs could wait until next year to sign Mahomes to a new contract.

"There will be a right time sometime in the next 12 to 15 months to extend Patrick, and when I say right time, I mean right time for both the player and the club,'' Hunt said.

"I don't want to say necessarily it has to be this offseason, but I will say that it's a priority to get him done.

"I hope Patrick is here for his entire career, and that's going to be our goal.''
