Earlier this offseason the Kansas City Chiefs said a new contract for Patrick Mahomes will get done before there is any chance he'll leave the team.

On Thursday, Brett Veach addressed the quarterback's contract. The general manager said Mahomes "isn't going anywhere," but noted that there's a lot of time to sort things out.

The Chiefs could exercise their fifth-year option on Mahomes' contract to buy more time.

"I can never sit here and speak in definitive, so I can't say that the fifth-year won't be an option or anything like that," Veach said. "It would be hard for me to say that we'd have to use that. If we feel that it's a priority when you have a great player, and that great player is a priority, to things get done. It's just hard to put a timetable on exactly when and how that will all work out. But we know and I'm sure he knows that it will get done and it will be taken care of."
