That’s about 15% more AAV than the highest in the league (Wilson at $35 million AAV)

$125 million guaranteed is way more than the league’s current highest (Matt Ryan at $94.5 million guaranteed)

**** the QB market to screw everyone but us bc Pat is the only player actually worth that $$

I assume you mean guaranteed at signing. Jared Goff has $110M in total guarantees, which is the highest in the league. If that's his market, then Mahomes should be getting $150M or more in total guarantees.

The Rams have already restructured his contract, which added some guaranteed money, I believe. Think he also had a roster bonus that got picked up this year.

No, the $110M guaranteed number was announced at the time of the original signing. It was a big deal that he got the biggest guaranteed money of anyone. Here is an article from September 2019 when the new deal was signed.

"Jared Goff was rewarded with a massive contract extension after just three seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, signing a four-year, $134 million deal this week. It comes with $110 million guaranteed, which is the most in NFL history."
