One thing they could probably do is appeal to his competitive nature.
It's not easy to ask a competitive person to give you some of his money to go sign players. But it's pretty easy to prevent that same competitive person from asking you for MORE money if it prevents you from signing players.
In that sense, just having numbers in black ink should work to the Chiefs advantage.
But they have to sate Mahomes in the process. They could give him a raise, yeah. But I think he'd probably be just as content if they tell him "Yeah Pat - we hear you, but we can finish DE1s deal at X dollars and WR2s deal at Y dollars and we kinda need Z dollars to make that happen..."
And because he's a psychopath, the former's probably just as good as the latter to him.
