And it wasn't the belief in his PRESENT level of production that turned teams off. Nor was it concerns over his ability to produce in the regular season.
26 year old QBs with an MVP in their pocket aren't typically guys that teams think "Man, 2 first rounders is too much to give up if we also have to clear salary cap space...."
Wonder what the distinction could possibly be?

I'm convinced that the Owners were lock in step in never giving another fully guaranteed contract. They knew noone would offer him a contract they wouldn't match because they only thing they wouldn't match is a fully guaranteed deal. The owners aren't in a hurry to blow the doors off the salary structure so they knew he wouldn't get an outrageous contract and he definitely wasn't getting a fully guaranteed deal. Football is a sport were owners will hold on to the power as long as they can. If Patrick Mahomes demanded a fully guaranteed deal he would be the next Kaep.
