Meh, his contract is structured in a manner its basically a series of 1 year guaranteed deals through 2025 after the NFL new league season starts. Its very cost prohibitive to cut him (LMAO as if that's a real risk) so the money is basically locked in the next 3 years.

As O'City said they will give him a raise sometime after 2025.

He has had to stay healthy and not turn into a pumpkin for 3 seasons to get to that point. If he suffered a career ending injury or turned into Wentz in 2020 or 2021, KC would have gotten out of the deal pretty easily.

God his contract is so damn brilliant.

He won’t need a new contract. In 2026 we set for a gigantic pay raise as his base salary. It is a way to pay for inflation LATER. Basically a guaranteed extension and pay raise without needing the hostile negotiations.

The chiefs will turn that into bonus money and it theoretically inflates all the later years of his contract so it gets closer to market value. It also gives mahomes what he wants which is more guaranteed for the back half of his contract. Everyone wins.

Wait, thought we all already knew the massive $$ for Mahomes in 2027 was effectively a 2nd signing bonus built into the contract since they can only go 5 years.

Mahomes has the best agent in Leigh Steinberg, they know what they are doing.

That’s how I see it too

Lamar probably looking at that guarantee and then glancing at Herbert and Burrow saying “go higher!”

The Lamar/Baltimore thing is fascinating, really. Part of me hopes that it blows up in the best way possible for as much drama as possible. The other part of me is just laughing bc Mahomes

I’m in favor of the Ravens having a strong enough team to give the Bengals a very tough time. I want that entire AFC North to make things very difficult on Cincy.

Me too. I want them beating the crap out of each other like Miami and the Bills undoubtedly will. Right now the Bengals are our biggest obstacle with no real rivals. I know we cake walked it but the Chargers are better than anything they go up against it. Could the Browns take a game off them?

I'm sure Mahomes' contract might get adjusted, but he isn't gonna be making noise like he needs the money. None of these other guys even SNIFF the bank he makes in endorsements.

Shit, I bet Burrow, Herbert, Hurts, Allen and whoever else COMBINED don't make what Pat does off the field.

Yet another in the apparently infinite list of reasons why we're so lucky.

So hurts becomes the highest paid superbowl loser in nfl history. The money these players earn for winning the consolation prize...

I'm okay with the Eagles not being able to pay Devonta Smith or having to release AJ Brown down the line.

Not sure why everyone keeps thinking a new contract for Mahomes here soon is such a foregone conclusion. Mahomes knew when he signed that his yearly contract would be eclipsed very quickly and still he signed a 10 year deal. Mahomes also makes a fortune on endorsements and does not need to maximize his salary. He knows that his contract would cripple the team if he was paid his value.

Considering he didn't need to be paid for another year at least you could've seen him after his best year to see how he'd rebound.

Good for him. He seems like a really ****ing good dude.

If I'm a Philly fan, I'm good with it. It will be interesting to see the structure. But I think it's where it needs to be.

I'd rather pay Hurts 50M per than the following:

Rodgers (50)
Wilson (49)
Murray (46
Watson (46)
Stafford (40)
Prescott (40)
Jones (40)
Carr (37.5)

So I think it's a good contract. Risk? Sure. But I'd do it if I were them.
