For many players, once they win a SB ring it becomes all about the money. Let's hope Mahomes takes a page from Brady's book!
Of course, Brady's wife's estimated worth is around $600M which makes it a bit easier for him to take less. Anybody know how much Matthews is worth?

I've mentioned this numerous times and not sure how the NFL would view this against the salary cap or even allow it but I think Clark should give Mahomes shares in the Chief's franchise.
If Mahomes can make $10-20 million or more off the contract or maybe a big payday at sometime in the future, that would tie him to the Chiefs forever and allow for a VERY low annual salary.
