It is a pretty sweet deal. These other teams are Never going to win a championship paying these scrub loser QB's that kind of money. Chiefs have total flexibility for the entire 10 years.

It's $141 million guaranteed for injury, which is basically just the money until the end of 2024. If he has a major injury that kills his career, KC will be able to get out of it. If he consistently plays as poorly as he did in the 2nd half of that playoff game against the Bengals, KC will likely be able to get out of it pretty easily in that scenario as well. I don't think they are stuck with him by any means.
Mahomes was in a position to demand a lot more guaranteed cash for himself while committing himself to a 10 year deal. The Mahomes deal is pretty much the biggest sweetheart deal imaginable when a guy with a billion miles of baggage (Deshaun) got $230 million guaranteed for only 5 years. Or this latest example with Kyler Murray getting $160M guaranteed for only 5 years. And those numbers will just keep blowing up every year.
