I know they added void year stuff after the fact to help cheat the cap as much as possible. Supposedly his cap hits will be jumping north of $63M very soon, but we'll see what other tricks the Cleveland front office has up their sleeves.

They did have an extremely cap friendly deal already in place and Mahomes wanted more.
Part of the reason Brady won so much was because he took less money. Mahomes chose money and have his cap hits raised to have his average per year bc what the other paid QB's are getting.
I hope Mahomes is happy taking more money bc it's gonna be really gonna be hard for this organization to move forward with less money and picking late in the draft every year.
