TL;DR

  • Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are having an unusual season, currently at a .500 record.
  • A rumor circulated on X suggesting the New York Jets might inquire about Patrick Mahomes.
  • The rumor originated from an account with "parody" in its bio, indicating it is not credible.
  • Mahomes is unlikely to leave the Chiefs for the Jets during his prime performance years.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs aren't quite having their normal season.

Gasp, they're at.500 past the midway point. Sound the alarms. Disaster in Kansas City.

Yes, a bit of hyperbole there, but it is weird to see the Chiefs not quite dominating the world right now.

That has some people on social media quite riled up. So riled up, in fact, that they'd believe a rumor about Patrick Mahomes going to the New York Jets.

Mahomes to Jets?

No, Patrick Mahomes is not going to the Jets.

Allow us an LOL, if you don't mind.

The rumor is based in this post on X, which has more than five million views:

That account literally has the word "parody" in its bio. This isn't real news.

The Jets need a QB, sure.

Should Mahomes ever play for a team other than the Chiefs, it would likely be very late in his career, not during his peak performance years.

This is one that Jets' fans will have to settle for in a dream and nothing more.
