Does Patrick Mahomes approve of Julian Edelman’s condition for the Chiefs to be recognized as a dynasty?

The question of whether Patrick Mahomes is launching a dynasty is on the lips of many fans of the NFL but for some, he has to win at least one more Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs in order to accomplish that mark. Fortunately for him, he gets another shot on February 11 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Regardless of whether they defeat Christian McCaffrey’s side, making four Super Bowls in five years is nothing to turn one’s nose up at. It’s the kind of form that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady were synonymous with between 2000-2019, but he doesn’t have enough rings according to Julian Edelman.

“You got to have three to be in the dynasty talk and they’re well on their way,” Edelman said to Complex Sports. “They could not win it this year and then come back and win it next year and that’s still a dynasty.

“But I’ve always thought three was a dynasty. I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong.”

Praise for the Chiefs’ ability to bounce back
In the NFL, careers for some players are so short that winning Super Bowls and remaining loyal to one organization isn’t always their main priority. With the risk of injury and the fact that some positions consider you a veteran after just three regular years, a lot of players chasing cash instead.

Yet the Chiefs are always there in the postseason. Even with their difficult 10-6 2023 season, they have still got to the final game. For Edelman, this ability to recover and adapt to changes and difficulties sets them apart from other teams.

“It’s been really impressive to see how they’ve been able to re-invent their team year after year,” Edelman said. “I mean, last year, going out and winning the Super Bowl after Tyreek Hill left, that was huge.”

“Then getting a new cast of characters and like Gronk [Rob Gronkowski] said, they need that core nucleus of the team, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Chris Jones on the defense, Spagnoula on the defense, and Andy Reid.”
