The only problem I kiiiiinda see, and it's not a real one, IS the NBA max contract dilemma.
Everyone will offer LeBron the max. But ultimately there will be dozens of other lesser players that also get the max. So at that point it's awfully tough for a smaller market team to keep some of these guys because they can't just over-extend themselves to keep them.
They're on the same financial footing as the Lakers, for instance, but the Lakers offer more benefits off the court.
So if everyone can offer Mahomes the same max amount at $40 million, the Chiefs have really nowhere to go with their offer. They just have to hope Patrick REALLY likes it in Kansas City rather than has an interest in pursuing higher profile media markets.
Anything that prevents the Chiefs from simply saying "**** it, take what you want and stay here" makes me nervous. It may ultimately serve as a disadvantage for the Chiefs.
