I agree with the article you posted as far as how this contract is a great deal for KC in that those first 3 years of the contract represent an amazingly fair $61 million, plus it captures nearly the entirety of guaranteed money.

And that guaranteed part is a huge deal. I really thought a contract like this would have a huge signing bonus followed by a huge option bonus in year 6 but it doesn't.

I also think the contract, with its longevity, would be great for KC if Mahomes plays it out. That said, I think this is a deal that goes back to the table in 5 years.

Where it's a great deal for Mahomes is that this contract can be virtually ripped up at any point and redone because there isn't a huge, looming signing bonus that creates issues. It's all roster bonuses. If Mahomes is ever playing for below market and wants more, he has a contract that allows it to happen quite easily.
