This guy is spot on! Mahomes is a magnet.
 

Wouldn't this all be wonderful??????

Use the extra money to build the OL into a power house. Sign Derrick Henry to close out games .Draft a WR this year. Tons of good ones then keep drafting Defense. Dynasty.

His brand would be worth more with more championships. If that translates to more cash?

lol on signing Derrick Henry

Loves me some Henry, he’s a legit monster... but dude just isn’t Andy Reid material

I've stated this a long time ago in other threads and even created one on this very subject .

:p

I've been waiting for that QB as well.

A lot of us are in careers that are not as financially rewarding as what was offered by another option. Why? Because it's what we want to do. Sure, 40 million wasn't at stake when we made our decision, but life is time and time is priceless. Eventually, there's going to be a QB that says **** it, I'm already rich, I want to win, and win a lot. You'd damn sure have to have the right owner, office, coach, and QB in place for that kind of trust to happen.

The new agreement might eliminate a lot of this decision though, so we may not get the chance to see a player chose the team over 10 million dollars a year.

I disagree. When Andy has a lead late he likes to try and run the clock but fails because we can't run the clock. He needs to let Mahomes throw for 1st downs but hates to do that. If he had Henry and kept him somewhat fresh for the 2nd half I think we would just put games away. I Love Damien too, let him play until we need to close.
Just think what a two back set would look like with those two guys. we would be a running machine along with Mahomes incredible talent.
Andy knows how to scheme.

In the mean time find those Road graders to lead the way

I'd rather see a separate salary cap for "franchise" players, whether it's the QB or someone like Aaron Donald. Great players should not be forced to do discounts just to have a decent team around them. That's bullshit, especially in a violent sport where a career can end in the snap of a finger.

Were it up to me, I’d FIND a way to fit him into the scheme

Just saying it’s impossible to envision Reid going for it, Henry simply isn’t much of a receiver

Can you imagine being a fan waiting for news about signing Dak Prescott or Jameis Winston to a long term break the bank deal? This whole thing feels like a dream. Patrick mahomes has ruined watching the Chiefs in the 2040s.

I don't really disagree, but eventually you run out of ways to manipulate the cap and it all comes crashing down. So it's get paid and be Rodgers or still get paid but be Brady. I'm surprised a QB hasn't found a way to say, "Hey, I'll give up X million if you spend it on one of these two sure fire HOF LTs" or receiver weapons or whatever position player they think they need.

If they separate the Qb from the cap, it makes all this moot and KC is in the drivers seat for years and years to come. Having a broke dick owner would be the sucking point in that situation. Jerry would make it rain on PM's grandchildren's grandchildren just to go out winning.

Absolutely. I still believe mahomes will become the most marketable player in recent nfl history. He's going to make a shitload of cash in the next few years between the new contract and endorsements. Hopefully once he collects enough, which he has earned, he will then start focusing on building his legacy. It's something Rodgers didn't do and I bet he wish he did

The cap hit will make the cost not worth it. Chiefs if they really want to can invest a Day 2 draft pick on a RB like that. I’d rather they fortify the OL with their draft picks. Maybe it’s just me but I thought Darrel Williams was decent this year. With Mahomes, a dominant RB really isn’t a top priority but rather a luxury...

That's why the league would have to put a cap on the "franchise" player salaries. Maximum would be something like $60M. I think the Hunt family can afford this.
