The owners aren't going to willingly give up their power. They've fought long and hard to garner and keep that power and they aren't about to give it up. If they give Mahomes a fully guaranteed deal Then everyone coming behind him would demand one. The were hell bent on making Watson the outlier and not the norm. Demaurice Smith was on the Pivot podcast talking about this give it a listen and it would be really clear what happened.

Mahomes just got 4 years fully guaranteed at $210 million. Seems like a pretty dang awesome deal on his end IMHO. The Chiefs could have told him to screw off when he asked for that considering he was already under contract for a very long time into the future. They had plenty of leverage on their side to not give him what he wanted.
