Not saying it will put up a fake number, especially considering his rolling guarantees make that virtually impossible, I'm suggesting that Veach will realize that as the cap overall grows, he'll be able to eat a much larger contract. We already have a built in large restructure year built into the contract in 2027, all I'm suggesting is they add to that as the cap will be much higher then and the percentage of cap Mahomes eats up won't be as large.
I don't think Mahomes would put this immediately on his contract as he wants to win more than anything. Also, this isn't like that Gronk situation where it held back positional salaries, as other QBs have already superseded Mahomes salary, so the NFLPA/ players aren't seeing the negative effects they saw with the Gronk situation.
Just because you give a player cash money now, doesn't mean the cap hit can't be 5 years from now.
