He has to be kicking himself for not demanding more guaranteed cash, considering the more selfish behavior of guys like Tyreek & Orlando. Patrick's goal with the team-friendly deal was to keep guys like that on the roster.

Mahomes being unselfish kept Chris Jones on the team and was one of the primary reasons for us having any cap play money at all to go sign free agents last year.
The contract has already worked wonders and will continue to do so in the future.
Brady took less for years, and the Patriots constantly let dudes walk away in FA. Mahomes isn’t stupid and knows that the less he takes from the team does not mean the team will keep all of its players always or that every key part of the team up for a new contract won’t want the highest number.
