Everyone and their mother (literally, my mother) thought the Ravens were bungling this last negotiation either by paying him too much or not giving him the guaranteed contract and locking him up. And yet, he signed with the Ravens for a market rate deal that he immediately outperformed.

When this deal is up, what reason is there to believe he would go elsewhere or not be worth a market rate deal when his next contract is due?

If it helps you rest easier at night knowing that Mahomes is married to KC forever, then congrats. The Ravens are doing just fine with their QB and his contract too even if it’s not the same structure.

I don’t know about resting “easier”, but it certainly fills my nights with constant exotic wet dreams.
