Hurts is hitting at half of that, so no, you're not going to need any cap flexibility from him.

Mahomes contract used roster bonuses instead, so it wouldn't compound future years automatically. That's a better setup in my opinion and it at least gives you some option to maneuver money if you need to. No such thing in the Hurts deal. Plus, you have those 75+ million years in 27 and 28 sitting out there. So while there's a bit less money now, when that time comes you better hope you can work something out or you just lost your QB because no way, no how are they going to pay those salaries.
