Florio crying about Pats contract
 

Haven't seen it yet, but I bet it has something to do with how he is screwing over other QBs because he didn't bend KC over with his contract. Sounds like a Florio type of thing.

2 things....

1. Wasn't Brady known for taking deals way below value?

2. Wasn't Mahomes the highest paid QB at the time he signed that deal?

The Chiefs put half a billion dollars on the line for Mahomes. Let me know when any other team ponies up that much.

Just because he's not getting paid annually as much as some of these other guys doesnt mean the Chiefs aren't paying Mahomes.

This is nothing new. He's been doing this ever since the deal was done.

When it was Brady, nobody gave a ****. In fact, they praised him and the Pats for it.

Even more annoying, I've noticed that in every single Veach PC I've watched this offseason, the local guys are also asking about Pat's contract. Will those dudes just STFU already?

Brady took deals so he could have a better team around him. Apparently that’s not okay for Mahomes to do.

What’s screwing over qb contracts is that other teams and QBs are comfortable with a qb taking up way way too high a % of the cap. That’s a them problem. And this is really disingenuous after hearing for decades about what a great team player Brady was. I don’t think I ever once heard anyone criticize him for taking a lesser contract.

The chiefs were rewarded for taking a 10 year risk on mahomes. Mahomes was rewarded for a contract that sets him for life. Other teams are welcome to do the same but my guess is most would not because they don’t want a qb under contract for that long

He was also getting paid under the table through his side businesses.

Oh no!!!!....Anyway

With the Aaron Rodgers and Lamar Jackson situations resolved, Whorerio has to manufacture drama to fill his daily TV/radio show.

This is true, I also don't see how anyone else has suffered because of Mahomes contract. There are 5 or 6 guys making more than Pat now. He didn't "hurt the market" at all.

Yeah it's annoying as ****. He won't STFU about it. The metric he uses is bullshit. Basically, if Pat doesn't re-up his contract every three years to stay on top of the market, the Chiefs are cheap.

Pat is going to get paid again, everyone and their momma knows he's gonna get a salary bump, likely after Burrow and Herbert get paid.

If the goal is to argue for the player, pay him more for the sake of being in line with market value, why the **** would they do it BEFORE Herbert and Burrow's contract?

Pffft....3-year cashflow?

That is pretty piss poor to act like Clark is taking advantage of Mahomes.

As long as the Chiefs are serious contenders for Superbowls, you won't hear Patrick Mahomes bitching about money.

Hes already stated if you make the money he's making and you're somehow not happy, there's something wrong with you.

Money isn't what he's after. It's winning.

Florio doesn’t bother to actually do the research. Yes moron he’s made $63 million in cash flow his first 3 years.

Care to guess what that number goes to in the next 3 years Florio? $186 million.

So Patrick is making $123 million in cash flow the next 3 years.

But he won’t say this bc he has to make content to bitch

All these national media turds just want him to bend over the chiefs so they can be dethroned. **** off, Patrick knows what he's doing

Cherry picking years aside, Florio's rant is ****ing insulting to Patrick. He thinks he's white knighting but what he's actually doing is condescending and honestly ****ing rude. You can bitch about the contract for a number of reasons if you want to but to basically say Mahomes won't stand up for himself and is getting pushed around? What an absolute useless gasbag Florio is. Jesus.

He wants to sit Patrick down and talk to him for a few minutes?? His dad was a ****ing pro athlete. You think he's some naive dumbass who doesn't know how contracts work? Get ****ed.

Imagine criticizing a player for not being insanely greedy. ****ing Bizarro World.

If Florio had even a hint of testicles, he would've stopped covering the NFL after the Tyreek drama. What a ****ing bundle of sticks.

The media makes their living by stirring up crap like this. I have zero respect for most of them.

We already know Florio wants the Chiefs dismantled. I remember the Tyreek clips all too well.

What's really stupid about that is the fact that Patrick has an agent that I assume makes a percentage of whatever is negotiated. So the agent makes more if Patrick makes more, and makes less if Patrick makes less. I'm sure the agent (a professional at the job) fully informed Patrick about the negotiations and what he could possibly make, so anything Florio would have to add is superfluous. Patrick and his agent agreed to that deal with full awareness of what they were doing and Florio is an idiot to presume that he has insight that they lacked.

Noticed that too in multiple pressers lol. You can see the first couple times Veach responded respectfully but the last time he was asked he was visibly annoyed, like the draft just happened and this is what you cucks are asking me - AGAIN? They just keep ****ing asking, the local media guys in KC are truly ****ing reeruned. All of them man.

Yep, I'm still waiting for this ass twitch to hang it up. POS.

The best part is Clark and Veach are about to do it to the NFL again.

Once Burrow and Herbert sign, the Chiefs are going to sign Mahomes to some monster extension that will be team friendly but pay Mahomes a metic shit ton.

If the Bengals and Burrow are smart they copy the Mahomes deal in its structure. Basically Veach is doing all the work in figuring out how to deal with a roster and elite QB.

Yup, Veach was noticeably annoyed.

Florio is such a bottom feeder. Gross.

You nailed it. The objectional part of this isn't him whining about the contract, it's him basically making it out like Mahomes is letting himself be pushed around. What an absolute asshole.

Mahomes is represented by Leigh ****ing Steinberg, an absolute legend in the industry. And it's going incredibly well as Mahomes will be a billionaire with multiple Super Bowl wins before his career is over. But it's "criminal".

According to overthecap, Pat's cap hits the next few years:

2023: $39.6m
2024: $46.7m
2025: $48.7m

That seems, honestly, perfectly reasonable. A bargain, sure. But not poverty. Look at the cap hits for Jalen Hurts:

2023: $6.1m
2024: $13.6m
2025: $21.8m

Mahomes has the largest cap hit in 2023 (currently).

The reason Mahomes drops like a rock to 7th place in 2024 is because some of these other contracts are insane.

Look at the QB hits for 2024. It's an insane asylum:

1. Rodgers (Jets) $107.6m
2. Watson (Browns) $64m
3. Prescott (Cowboys) $59.5m
4. Murray (Cardinals) $51.9m
5. Stafford (Rams) $49.5m
6. Allen (Bills) $47m
7. Mahomes (Chiefs) $46.7m

The only contract there that's reasonable, aside from Mahomes', is Allen's. And honestly Rodgers is going to have that re-negotiated anyway.

Don't fault the Chiefs for "underpaying" Mahomes -- he's underpaid but these other contracts are criminal.

Also, Florio wants to give Patrick 15 minutes of life advice? Oh my goodness. What a narcissist.

If dogshit had a podcast it would be Mike Florio.

FAX THE OBSERVANT

Florio doesn't seem to understand how much more money Pat makes in endorsements than the rest of these guys, either. I've seen the estimates at about $20 million per year for him. That makes up a lot of ground.

Also, Florio is an insufferable d-bag who wore out his welcome years ago. I appreciated ProFootballTalk back in the day after it was a spin off of the defunct NFLTalk. It has since become pure garbage. Just shut up, Mike. For once in your life, shut up.

Absolutely.

Shouldn't that idiot still be concentrating on railroading Tyreek or other innocent people?

I wonder if that life advice includes any comments about how he needs to take a "cheap-shot" in the Super Bowl because Florio wants the other team to win.

all of us should really stop reading after "florio said...."

Also, because the Rams are dumb enough to pay Stafford $120 mil over 3 years, the Chiefs need to cough up more for their QB? The whole argument is stupid.

Next up, maybe he can teach Chris Jones the finer points of showing everybody your dick at the NFL combine.

We've reached the prophesied part of the Mahomes' contract, where the narrative amongst the media and opposing ans shifts from "you gonna be screwed when you start paying Mahomes $50M/year" to "wow, that deal really is a huge advantage to the Chiefs. They should have to tear it up and pay him top of the market in guaranteed actual cash."

I'm confident a new deal will get done. I've always thought year 5/12 was the first logical "new deal" point, with 7/12 being the drop dead on it. So I'm looking for it for the 2024 league year (after the Chiefs win the SB again, of course). From reading his contract, I think he has $75M in guarantees at that point. I BELIEVE that amount could be rolled into a signing bonus (and doesn't that total hit just about right for a signing bonus?)

You know what's going to be REALLY funny?

When the new deal STILL doesn't have insane guarantees up front, when the new deal LOWERS his 24 cap hit from $47M to something like $30-35M, and when the new deal is still incredibly flexible.

I don't see any way KC is NOT playing 2023 and 2024 with a significant advatage in cap hit of Mahomes vs. his most legitimate peers. It's gonna be gravy.

Haven’t watched it but if that’s the angle, he’s a damned idiot. Mahomes could name his price.

Imagine if a QB signed a contract for 50-60% of the entire salary cap. Anyone think that might piss off a lot of other players on the team? Would the Chiefs be obligated to top that? The more the QB gets, the less the rest of them get. The O-Line might start forgetting to block. Leave enough on the table for everyone to eat and leading the team gets much easier.

Watch. When they do redo his contract, idiots like Florio will pat themselves on the back for shining a light on this injustice, completely missing that was always the plan.

also why is anyone even talking about mahomes contract. has florio not seen hurts ****ing cap hits for the next 5 years lol?

When he signed that deal everyone couldn't believe it and said things like "Good luck getting any other good players when you're paying Mahomes THAT much!!"

And we all said in 2 years the deal would look like a steal for the Chiefs.

Wow who was right....

Never heard of him, but he can whine some more if he thinks it will help.

Oh, totally.

Noticed this in Florio replies. Pointing out that the graphic is actually bullshit to begin with, comparing Mahomes last 3 years, with these guys next 3.

Big market media types like parity and do not like seeing small market Kansas City dominating the league for an extended period of time.

I guarantee you if Mahomes played for the Giants then no one would be saying diddly.

The hilarious part is how many numbskulls chanted, “Patrick is selfish! Dude will never win another Super Bowl by being that greedy!!!” whenever the Chiefs had to cut players at the start of the offseason.

Like, little bitches everywhere were laughing at Pat and declared him deceased when Veach cut Fisher and Schwartz in the same offseason. And if those idiots didn’t learn their lessons then, they did it again when we traded Tyreek.

Now Mahomes is too unselfish and ruining the NFL by not demanding more money?

Pick a ****ing side

FYP

Great point.

Somehow Patrick has higher cap hits than other QB's who are getting more cash than him. Probably because the other teams are using the Void Year trick to artificially lower the cap hits. I feel like the Chiefs should want to tear up this deal and re-do it so their QB isn't the only one with really high cap hits while everyone else in the league is finding ways to cheat the cap.

My suspicion is that the Jalen Hurts contract is going to be the new standard structure. By the time his cap hits become a problem, the Eagles will just give him a new contract and start the cycle over. Re-do the contract every 4 years and keep kicking the can down the road until your QB is washed up in 10+ years.

Dak Prescott's deal is interesting. He has been paid $120M of cash ($40M per year) over the last 3 years with a total cap hit of only $63M ($21M per year). Somehow his cap hits are half of his actual cash flow, which is radically different from the Mahomes deal where his cash flow actually lines up very closely with the cap hits. Dallas & Philly added the void years in there to cheat the cap. And they'll keep finding ways to kick the can down the road. I bet Cincy will do the same thing with Burrow, which will allow them to keep both of his #1 quality receivers.

NFL may as well go to standard pay bullshit by position and how you are ranked if this is what the media is going to do. Brady was called a hero for taking less but shit ass Florio is calling Mahomes a guy getting abused for being too nice. As if he's some stupid dufuss that has been dupped.

Mahomes is grown ass man and I am sure he can speak for himself. If he wants more because of recent QB contracts then all he has to do is say something and Veach will work it out with him.

Just look at Whorio's eyes, you can tell he's a weasel.

Why is no one talking about Deshaun Watson’s deal being criminal because he’s screwing Cleveland with his massive cap hit and poor play?

Does anyone ever ask guys like that to tear up their deal and take less because they aren’t living up to it and it’s the “right thing to do”?

Why is it never the other way?

So far the Browns have found a way to cheat the cap. They've paid him $91M in 2022 and 2023, with cap hits of only $9.4M in 2022 and $19M in 2023. The next 3 years supposedly have $64M per year of cap hits, but I won't be shocked if they find a way to keep cheating the cap. More void years added to it, which is how they managed to drop his cap hit to only $19M in 2023.

Mahomes is not "criminally underpaid." He's earning hundreds of millions of dollars. At some point, you get diminishing returns on your multi-multi-multi millions. Patrick understands this. It's clear he values winning championships over everything else and is willing to take a little discount to be competitive.

Will it be renegotiated at some point? Probably. Did it work? Yes! Would he still have two rings if he had insisted on top dollar for himself?

Florio is a little bitch who thinks he’s breaking important news.. He can **** right off..

Pat owns KC and always will. If his $1/2 billion contract isn't somehow enough, being Mr. KC likely helps.

i'd pay money for a front row seat to watch tyreek deck florio in the ring

Josh Allen does razor commercials where they have to tell you he's Josh Allen.

ROFL

Tiger Woods only made $10 million during his best year. Was Florio bitching about his pay compared to other athletes? No! Tiger made his money away from the course. Patrick is in a similar situation where his income is significant away from the field AND it doesn't count against the cap. :)

Lawyers gotta lawyer

This is the perfect retort to the idiot talking heads like Fraudio. :clap:

He's the guy at work who vandalizes your project and then tells the boss that you messed up.

he really does have a face that just makes you want to wind up and floor it with your first

People bring up Tom Brady taking a pay cut like he did something great for the team. No he did it for himself because his wife was a Gabillionaire

Yea, as long as your QB stays at a franchise level...

If he turns into a Kyler Murray or a Russell Wilson...

And that cap hit will bite at some point anyway.

I realize that we have great contract writers and it helps us, but I kind of wish the NFL would set rules that all contracts have to be X years at Y dollars per year. Building a team should be more about talent acquisition than creative contract writing.

Wasn't he crying about it when he first signed it, because it was for 10 years and for a HALF BILLION DOLLAR$?

Exactly, it’s why Brian Daboll gets coach of the year and Andy Reid isn’t even in the discussion.

That and the Patriots had to rely on Free Agency because Belicheat couldn’t draft talent for shit.

So it's news because Clark had a recent press conference. I get why it's a topic.

But Cowherd addressed the same comments by Clark. And he doesn't give a ****ing shit about it. He called it a "cheat code" but that was as a compliment. He's applauding the franchise and Mahomes. And yes, the title is one of those computer generated clickbait things that auto-pirates content from sports shows, but the actual Cowherd channel chose not to put that particular segment up on Youtube:

Florio had a choice, and he chose Option B for Bitch.

Such a strange thing to obsess about for a guy in his position. (Yes, CH had the presser, but Florio has been talking shit on Mahomes’ contract since the beginning.) Then again, he is one to do more than his fair share of virtue signaling on political issues and player issues. He also has a tendency to carry-on about things, especially when the news cycle is slow. I guess you have to provide some sort of content for your customers. But this obsession just seems especially weird. Hey dumbass: PM & the team are both happy with the contract. The team acknowledges that it will be reworked at some point. Stop trying to create fake drama for our team in order to advance your personal interests.

S-T-F-U !!!!!

Florio crying about Pats contract
 

These media bundle of stickss need to shut the **** up about pats contract.

2022 was literally the first year of the extension.

That local kc kook that works for espn kept bringing it up in pre-draft and post-draft media.

“When do you guys revisit Patricks contract after seeing what hurts and Allen got?”

We revisit it when we are more than 10% of the ****ing way through it.

Has there ever been a city more in the head of a national media person (or whatever you consider Florio)? For like the past 10 years, starting with the Royals, this guy just constantly whines about us. It's both funny and sad.
