He's already taking an implicit paycut by not demanding to be the highest paid at his position by a longshot. He's doing his part to maintain the team around him. He's not going to out and out restructure to get even less.

Im not saying he should. And specifically said it’s not likely and no one can blame him. But the option is there if he wants to. By all indications he accepted a bigger contract not because he wanted to, but because he was bullied into taking more money because douches like Florio had the audacity to call this selfish for some weird reason
. If he doesn’t care about the few extra $s then the only reason he’s taking more money is because he’s forced to, then **** everyone else. If mahomes believes taking less will get more weapons around him and that’s what he wants, then let him. Upsetting the Lamars and burrows of the world is such a ridiculous reason for mahomes not to want to do what’s best for him. You now have guys like burrow and Lamar and Herbert setting the market. You don’t need mahomes to carry that weight anymore
