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.
Is Patrick Mahomes going to the 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:
The #Jets are expected to “check in” on #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes this offseason.

That account literally has the word “parody” in its bio. This isn’t real news.
The Jets need a QB, sure.
But if Mahomes ever plays anywhere other than the Chiefs, it’d probably be super late in his career, not in the middle of his prime.
This is one that Jets’ fans will have to settle for in a dream and nothing more.
