I look around the league and see other big money QB's with great OL's and weapons. Jared Goff just got $80M this year and has a completely stacked roster around him. That includes an elite RT on a massive contract, elite receiver on a massive contract, really good LT on a big money contract, etc. Joe Burrow has gotten $110M the last couple years and has Orlando Brown plus WR's Chase/Higgins. Somehow the Eagles have big money players all over their roster (including OL/WR) while paying big money to Jalen Hurts. Lamar Jackson got $80M last year and has Ronnie Stanley on a big money deal at Left Tackle. Josh Allen has had Dion Dawkins for 6+ years, including a big money deal for Dawkins at the moment. On and on it goes. Mahomes already provided the team with a pretty big discount from 2020 to 2022. He could have gone the Burrow route (huge cash flow immediately).
