That's a lot of money for a QB that has never won a play-off game....

Already have a thread for this…..

Raiders probably have around $40 million in cap room next year after this move, maybe a little less after their draft class and any other FA. They also now have only 22 players under contract for 2023. That’s an incredibly top heavy team where the top isn’t that great aside from Adams. KC was in the same situation this year, but the difference is:

Mahomes >>>>>> Carr
Reid >>>>> McDaniels
KC plenty of draft picks > Raiders few draft picks

Waller is also looking for a new contract…

Not really,

I remember when people said the Chiefs were nuts for what they gave Mahomes. I knew it would eventually look like a bargain, but didn't think it would happen so quickly. It's already a steal.

Yep. Not gonna be happy earning $7 million when everyone else is getting paid.

I would rank the Chiefs substantially higher than the Raiders on my list of preferred National Football League teams

We can wait for guaranty details, but mahomes contract is looking better with each passing day

It's a mega thread you ****ing cuck.

Why do people hate Mahomes' contract again? (when I say people I mean non-Chiefs fans)

Is it the $500M number? Do they really think we overpaid this guy? Cause every single year opposing fans say we're in cap hell and every single year we prove them wrong and are in the playoffs.

Thank God we got him when we did. Could you imagine if he was going into his 3rd year and we had to extend him still? That number would be insane. We were able to set the market and luckily all these other teams have drafted QBs that are really good, but not on Mahomes' level and so they're paying more for those QBs, than we did for the best QB.

I didn't realize he turns 30 this year. Pay the man, Oakland!

Awesome for Chiefs fans.
