Mahomes deal has no chance to absolutely implode your cap for the next decade or so.
Hurts deal can/will do that in the next 5 years. Essentially what Roseman did was automatically convert all those years of salary to bonus where the Chiefs can elect to do so (or elect to do so only in part).
The Chiefs can keep their hand on the rudder and guide things as the situation warrants. Roseman can't - he's already played the cards.
The Chiefs have a much better deal than the Eagles do. And unlike the Eagles, they don't HAVE to go to the table with their QB in 5 years knowing that their pants are already around their ankles.
