Thats just not enough in today's market. The QB position is increasing in importance every year. Its natural that the % of the cap would increase. And if you are the best QB in the NFL that % goes up more.
I've said that the Mahomes contract could be the first one tied to the cap %. Mahomes knows that 5-6 years from now he's not being underpaid. The Chiefs know every year that this % is taken up by the MVP.
Of course there will have to be guaranteed money. In the signing you give him $50 million or so. If he blows out a knee, dies in a plane accident, gets eaten by a gator or for whatever reason he is no longer a football player, more guaranteed money is paid to him or his family/
Just get creative but not to make a deal beneficial to the Chiefs but to make the deal beneficial for both parties.
