James Harden is an enormous variable here, but even if he’s not moving any better than […]

At the time, he signed a three-year, $42 million contract and that means he’s entering the final year of that deal in 2021 — so it’s time for he and the Chiefs to potentially begin talks on an extension. “He’s such a great leader on this team and obviously a special football player,” Mahomes said, […]
