If he becomes just another highly paid QB on a decent team, sure he’ll get endorsement opportunities like Rodgers. But no one is gonna shell out ridiculous money to get a guy like that to pitch their product.
However, if he is always in the Super Bowl and is the face of the NFL for years to come, he’s gonna have the marketing opportunities POURING in consistently.
Not to mention post career endorsements, speaking engagements, whatever he wants to do.
I’m sure it’s flawed thinking but it seems like just making sure his team is a winner is worth WAY more in the long term than just taking a few million more on his contract every season.

He's already won a Super Bowl. That ship is sailed, he's a household name now. Worst case he's firmly in that Marino, Rodgers, Farve camp, and they have no problem getting endorsements.
I just don't see any way Mahomes doesn't get the biggest contract ever. Everyone compares to Brady but he only started taking discounts later, his first big contract wasn't a discount.
