I don't understand the term "hometown discount" when it comes to Mahomes. It's impossible for him to give us a hometown discount. He's not originally from KC. Or Missouri. Or Kansas. He's a Texan who appears to really love this city and is delighted to be adopted its fanbase. Maybe when he retires a Chief he'll permanently live here... or at the very least keep a house here for his frequent visits. But he's not from here. The only way he could give a team a hometown discount would be if he played for whatever football team Whitehouse, TX typically roots for.

Yeah, he could accept a contract that's not as expensive as he could make it in order to help the team build pieces around him, but that's not him saying, "Hey, this is my hometown, and for that reason, I don't need to be paid the exorbitant amount of money that I'm actually worth."
